John Cena's one-word reaction to Brock Lesnar's idea of squashing him at SummerSlam 2014
John Cena had an interesting reaction to Brock Lesnar suggesting the idea of squashing the veteran at SummerSlam 2014.
Brock Lesnar destroyed Cena in a massive squash bout to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2014. The destruction of Cena left the WWE Universe dumbstruck, as he had never been dominated like that in the past.
John Cena recently had a chat with Sam Roberts on Notsam Wrestling. He revealed that Lesnar came up with the idea of squashing him while having dinner with WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin. Cena responded to Lesnar's plan with a simple 'yeah.' He then explained why Lesnar's pitch made sense.
"Brock is one of the most giving performers when it's his time, and he will make anyone look great. But I remember Brock being like, "Hey you know, I had dinner with Steve Austin last night and we came up with this idea where I just start suplexing you and don't stop, and then beat you." I said, 'Yeah!' He said, "What do you mean?" I was like, "Well, we both collectively agreed that you just beat the streak. We will ruin that if we have a 50-50 match." [27:34 - 28:05]
