John Cena made his return at Money in the Bank and shockingly announced his retirement from WWE. He is considered a veteran and perhaps the greatest wrestler ever to step foot in WWE. Big Match John had something to say about another veteran with whom he shared an iconic rivalry. The name in question is The Miz.

“A&E Biography WWE Legends: The Miz” will be released soon. The biography showcases the journey of The Miz, who struggled a lot in his initial days as a WWE superstar. However, after 20 years, he is considered a legend and a future Hall of Famer by many in the WWE Universe. An interesting fact is that he is the third most experienced active superstar, just behind Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton, in terms of matches wrestled.

In the documentary, John Cena talked about how the former world champion was one of the most underrated stars. Interestingly, The Leader of Cenation’s last match was with him when they partnered with R-Truth to defeat The Judgment Day on Raw after WrestleMania XL. However, they were always better rivals than friends, as The Miz defeated him in the main event of WrestleMania 27.

Unfortunately, The A-Lister and Truth lost their WWE Tag Team titles to The Judgment Day on the June 24 episode of Raw. Liv Morgan somehow convinced the veteran to put their titles on the line against the notorious faction, without Miz’s knowledge.
