Former WWE NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano has also been a huge fan of Cena. The star recently took to Twitter/X to give a tribute to the legendary name as he heads into the squared circle one last time. Gargano stated that Cena is the 'prototype', revealing that he had stories with the legend in three different phases of his life.

As a fan, when Gargano met Cena, the latter said 'Nice Name' to the young fan, which became a memorable moment. Further, as an indie star, Gargano got the opportunity to be a part of WWE's pre-show matches, and Cena witnessed one of them. While heading backstage, the Franchise Player stated that it was one of the best pre-show matches he had ever seen.

John Cena's last match opening SNME - Check out Why!

"John Cena is THE Prototype. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: Duh. We know that was his name early in his career. But I mean it in the truest sense. When I think about doing this job at a high level, and all the extra things that come with it—the in-ring work, the signings, the appearances, the media, and maybe most importantly, how you treat people—John is the prototype. Everyone knows by now that he goes above and beyond in every facet. A million @JohnCena stories have been told, and I’ve had the unique opportunity to interact with him in 3 different phases of my life: As a fan. As an indie talent. As a contracted WWE talent," he wrote.
