John Cena appreciated Jackie Chan’s storytelling

Cena was part of a Q&A session at the Wales Comic-Con 2022. While answering questions from the fans, he appreciated Jackie Chan as one of the best physical storytellers of the generation.

He said, “I  did a movie with Jackie Chan called Project X. I think it might be called snafu. I also think it might be called the movie you’ll never see, which is kind of meta because.. you know. I’m not sure I really hope the world gets to see it only because I got to be in an action comedy with one of the greatest physical storytellers of our generation. Jackie, I mean, it’s a shame the movie thing worked out for him. He would have been a great WWE superstar.”
