Former WWE United States Champion Rusev, now known as Miro, was the latest guest on The Ryback Show.

He discussed his biggest rivalry in WWE, where he fought with John Cena in 2015. He considers it a big learning opportunity, and thinks Cena taught him how to wrestle.

Below is what Rusev said:

“I was blessed. To this day, I pray and I’m so thankful that I got to work with John Cena, who taught me every single thing, and talking about the crowd, the timing, and it’s just an unbelievable experience, man.

You can tell that there are people who work with him, their timing versus the people who never work with him, and it’s such a difference. I feel so blessed working with him. And even to this day…every day, I give thanks to John for teaching me how to wrestle.”
