Chris Van Vliet recently invited LA Knight on his podcast for his latest episode. Vliet asked the WWE superstar about his time with John Cena and what the main facets of working with him were. While Knight had a positive view to share about the 16-time WWE Champ, he also had a fun story up his sleeve.

LA Knight said, “Uh, my girlfriend was backstage at, uh, Fastlane, and he was like, it wasn’t like she wanted to meet him—’Hey, can I meet?’ He was like, ‘Can I meet her?’ And I’m like, ‘Yes, absolutely.’” A personal request for an acquaintance from John Cena warmed the hearts of Knight and his partner, Michelle Yavulla.
