He said, “Being able to come and see WWE Raw is something I grew up watching as a kid. So coming here, and actually seeing it live, being so close to the ring. I had an amazing time.”

Johnson also got behind John Cena and backed him for his match at SummerSlam.

“I’mma go with John Cena, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers. So team Cena.”

Furthermore, Keldon Johnson candidly spoke about his Tokyo Olympics 2020 appearance and experience.

“It’s definitely been a blessing. Being able to go and compete for our country, going out there, and putting USA across my chest is definitely been a great experience. It’s so hard to put in so many words, it’s like a dream come true. Being able to hold the medal, finally getting it in my hands after the game, after the ceremony. It was crazy… I kinda got chills going through my body; it felt like it was surreal.”
