John Cena thinks Vin Diesel could be a WWE Champion tomorrow, saying he wouldn’t even have to change his name.
Speaking with Vice, Cena was asked to come up with wrestling names for the Fast and Furious cast. He started with Diesel, saying he wouldn’t have to change anything. He said:
“So, we’re going to start with the easiest one: Vin Diesel. That name already says it all. He literally could be a WWE champion tomorrow. I think you have to have something that sort of encapsulates your persona, or provides the audience with guidance based on first impressions. Vin is in great physical condition, and the way he operates in fights – I would know firsthand! – he’s very forward and he’s got the torque and power of a Diesel truck. So I honestly think that’s a fitting name. You wouldn’t have to change a thing.
“The whole cast of F9 are kind of like WWE superstars in their own right. The movie is kind of built for that, and I think that’s one of the interesting things about the franchise. You look at both entities – WWE being globally successful and Fast & Furious being globally successful – they kind of stick to their core but aren’t afraid to expand. They’re very similar.”
John Cena and Vin Diesel star in F9, the ninth installment in the Fast and Furious franchise.
Cena has also reportedly been factored into main event plans for this year’s SummerSlam event. You can read more about that here.
