John Cena has given some praise to one WWE NXT star.

The former WWE champion recently took part in a Q&A session at MegaCon in Orlando where he talked about various topics. During this appearance, a fan asked Cena if he would rather face NXT stars Adam Cole, Velveteen Dream or Ricochet in a match.

Cena revealed that he would rather face Velveteen Dream and explained why while giving the exciting wrestling prospect some high praise. Here is what he had to say:

“I would rather face Velveteen Dream. You know how in the Star Wars movies the old Jedis can look at the rookie Jedis and be like, ‘I think that’s the one.’ I kinda have a weird, odd midichlorian feeling about Velveteen Dream. I think there’s something special there.”

As of this writing, the sports entertainment company is not advertising Cena for any upcoming events. He was last seen when he beat Triple H in the opening match on the main card of the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in April.
