The former NWA star shared a video to honor John Cena ahead of his retirement and noted that the legend was very coachable. The RAW GM added that Cena never made anyone he worked with feel unimportant and is an example of how to do things the right way.

"I want to thank you for not just being an example, but being the example guys like me point to as the way to do it. And you've done it so well. I appreciate the time we've shared, and I appreciate the time that you have given. You are far more generous than you have any right to be. And I thank you for it. You're the man. Thank you, John Cena," he said.

"I think he’s one of the worst GMs we've ever had. I think we need to bring back the laptop, that laptop was way better than Pearce. The Anonymous Raw GM would have taken care of me and the New Day. Adam Pearce, he's not taking care of us... [Pearce] always has to be out there for it, doesn't he? Oh man, I'd love to fight Adam Pearce. Woods and Kofi, they get first shot, so I get third shot," Waller stated. [H/T: WrestleTalk]
