John Cena is a huge name in the world of pro wrestling. With his extraordinary skills inside the ring, he has gained a lot of popularity among the fans. With that, his fans can often be seen requesting the WWE legend for autographs or selfies. However, now it seems a former WWE Star also made a weird request to Cena.
The WWE Star in question is none other than Enzo Amore. He was previously a part of the Stamford-based promotion from 2012 to 2018. However, he was recently seen in the ‘Growing Up Italian‘ podcast where he talked about his time in WWE. During that, he also shed light on his weird request to John Cena.
Amore said, “To make my long story short, the night that I had my first match, John Cena was there”. He then stated that when he saw Cena backstage he said “Take me home tonight” and the WWE legend instantly looked at him and then he told John “I went to Springfield.”
Enzo also added, “That’s what we played whenever we won a game in the locker room and he knew that tradition because it went past when he was playing there. He then looked at me kind of weird.” Thus, it seems the former WWE Star really made a strange request to Cena, since he asked the 16-time World Champion to take him home after his debut match.
Focusing on John Cena and Enzo Amore’s time together in WWE
Enzo Amore was a part of WWE for only six years. However, during his tenure in the Stamford-based promotion, he was a part of several storylines and bagged many championships. In addition to that, he also shared the ring with WWE legend John Cena.
Previously, Cena was engaged in a storyline rivalry with AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson known as The Club. However, once while The Club was attacking Cena, Enzo and Cass rushed out to the help of the Leader of the Cenation.
This led to a feud between Cena, Cass, and Enzo vs. The Club. The feud ultimately culminated in a six-man tag team match at Battleground 2016. At the event, the team of Cena, Enzo, and Cass defeated The Club. Thus, marking the end of the storyline.
Why was Enzo Amore fired from WWE?
In January 2018, Enzo Amore faced sexual assault allegations. This led to his suspension from the largest wrestling promotion in the world. With that, his scheduled match at Royal Rumble 2018 was canceled. Moving ahead, Amore was fired from the Stamford-based promotion.
After his firing, he took up the name of Real1 and embraced a career in music. However, as of now, he can be seen wrestling on the Independent Circuit. With that, it now remains to be seen what lies ahead for Enzo Amore or Eric Arndt in the upcoming days. Also, fans will look forward to getting more stories from the former WWE Star.
