Former WWE Champion gives his honest take on John Cena's in-ring ability
Ever one to polarize the WWE fanbase regarding his in-ring skills, John Cena seemingly has had the full trust of his colleagues for many years, most notably Shawn Michaels, who has been recapping their epic 2007's RAW match.
Following their iconic WrestleMania 23 showdown for the WWE title, which Cena won, the pair faced off once again in the UK a few weeks later on RAW in what is widely considered one of the greatest matches in the red brand's history.
During a recent appearance on WWE's The Bump, Shawn Michaels stated that despite the match being an hour long, wrestling with a performer as skilled as Cena made it easy.
"This is the end of the tour and John and I had to go an hour. No, look, there is no better guy to do it with than John, honestly, and I’ll say this — it sounds strange, but because, you know, it’s not a full hour and you feel like in your mind, even though you’re not dealing with commercial breaks, it’s not, it was really easy."

Over the past year, Theory has made it very well known that he, like many people his age, grew up a die-hard John Cena fan and would, therefore, like nothing more than to beat his hero on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
