John Cena is one of the most influential sports personalities of all time. Many colleagues and upcoming stars look up to him in search of wisdom and motivation. Recently, Bryan Danielson shared how the Cenation leader’s motto helped him fit into his AEW faction, the Blackpool Combat Club (BCC).

The group consists of AEW’s biggest stars: Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta. While speaking to Sports Illustrated, the American Dragon recalled a conversation he once had with John Cena. The latter advised him to always be careful of the relationships a superstar gets involved in while traveling on the road.

Bryan said, “It was actually John Cena who I first heard say this–you become the five people you spend the most time around.” The 16-time World Champion’s advice has helped the former WWE superstar enjoy his time with the BCC. Furthermore, he joked about taking things “lightly” as a reference to Yuta’s time with another faction, Best Friends.
