In a stunning revelation, “Nightmare” Danny Davis, one of the founders and former owners of Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), has made a bold claim about John Cena, stating that he knew the wrestling superstar was destined for greatness just five minutes into meeting him. Davis, who trained Cena during his early days at OVW, made this assertion on the News4Jax Going Ringside podcast, sending shockwaves throughout the wrestling community.
Cena, who began his WWE career as The Prototype at OVW, is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time (GOAT) in the wrestling world. Alongside fellow OVW alumni Randy Orton, Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Shelton Benjamin, Cena has formed part of the legendary OVW Class of 2002. This esteemed group has collectively won an astonishing 46 World Championships in WWE, cementing their status as one of the greatest cohorts in wrestling history.
Davis, who was instrumental in nurturing Cena’s early career, confesses that he spotted greatness in the making from their very first encounter. “Five minutes into meeting John Cena, I knew he was going to be a star,” Davis said on the podcast. This extraordinary claim speaks volumes about Cena’s unparalleled work ethic, dedication, and natural charisma, which have propelled him to the pinnacle of success in the wrestling world.
As Cena, now 47 years old, enters the twilight of his wrestling career, his legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide. His recent appearance at the RAW after WrestleMania XL, where he teamed up with Awesome Truth to defeat the Judgment Day in a thrilling six-man tag team match, served as a poignant reminder of his enduring appeal.
With Cena hinting at an imminent retirement, the wrestling community is left to ponder the eventual departure of a true icon. As the clock ticks down on Cena’s in-ring career, fans are left to appreciate the monumental impact he has had on the world of professional wrestling. Davis’s prophetic claim about Cena’s greatness serves as a testament to the wrestling superstar’s unwavering commitment to his craft and his enduring legacy as one of the all-time greats.
