"Threat to their position" - 44-year-old WWE star reveals John Cena's backstage behavior

A 44-year-old WWE star has revealed details about John Cena's behavior backstage. The Never Seen-17 is set to wrestle in the final match of his career against Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event.

With his retirement near, many WWE talents and personalities are discussing Cena's career and his impact on the industry. Stars have also been talking about their relationship with The Franchise Player.

One more star who brought up Cena during an interview is Finn Balor. In a conversation with The Sun, the 44-year-old Irish wrestler showered The Champ with compliments and revealed how the veteran treated him when he first arrived in WWE in 2016.

“When I get [sic] brought in like 2016, John was at the top, and he’s kind of like the leader in the locker room and backstage. He leads by example and not with fear and threats. He was just a really, really good leader that everyone looked up to and respected and admired for his work ethic. He was really, really easy to deal with," he said.

The Judgment Day member mentioned how Cena's attitude toward him changed his perception of WWE's backstage environment.

"And I thought ‘Wow, these WWE guys are really, really professional.’ I can’t believe it’s so easy. I come in here as this new kid, I guess, potentially a threat to their position on the card, and the main guy is just so cool. ‘Wow, I can’t believe it. Surely this doesn’t happen everywhere?’ I’ve heard all these horror stories about all sorts of politicking and whatever.' But that doesn’t exist here in WWE – that’s crazy. Things have really changed," he said. [H/T: The Sun]

However, Balor added that he was wrong, and he later discovered it was only John Cena who was secure and easy to deal with.
