John Cena Thinks Max Caster Is A "Really Spectacular" Rapper

John Cena may have been the most high profile hip-hop gimmick in wrestling, but the former ‘Dr. Of Thuganomics’ has passed his crown to AEW’s Max Caster.

The motormouth of The Acclaimed is known for his pre-match bars, and Cena admitted to Forbes that he’s a fan:

“I know of Max Caster very well, and the answer is no,” said Cena when asked if he could beat Caster in a rap battle.

“He’s extremely gifted. I remember hearing him for the first time, and asking a good friend of mine to please pass his information on to me. I immediately checked out his raps, out of the blue, and I saw what he was doing was spectacular. I wish him all the best of luck, but I can’t give him any advice because he’s punching far above my weight class. He is very gifted. He’s gifted enough to rhyme to the beat live, where I kind of did my stuff a cappella to let the punchlines sink in.

“Hip-hop constantly evolves, and it constantly moves forward, and he is the better version of what I did. He’s really, really spectacular. As long as he keeps everything in realistic perspective, he shows great potential.”
