When news broke that John Cena was going to be heading to India for his first-ever match in the country at Superstar Spectacle, it turned heads around the professional wrestling world.

Sure, Cena still has a tendency to get in the ring and mix it up from time to time, as he remains a spectacle 20 years into his WWE career, but heading to an international show wrestled in front of 5,000 fans without a television presence? Yeah, that's certainly certainly a choice.

Fortunately for Cena, his opinion is the only one that really matters, and at the show, he was incredibly excited about wrestling in front of the fans assembled in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, Telangana.

“Can you guys hear me in the back? Because I can sure as h*ll hear you guys. I just want everybody to be able to hear what I’m saying. It’s brief, but what I have to say tonight means a whole heck of a lot to me,” John Cena said via Fightful.  “Thank you for allowing me to be here tonight. Sometimes, when we feel something inside, it grabs us emotionally, and we feel like we’re alone. I want to share this with y’all. You can let me know if I’m alone or not, but I’m gonna share it anyway. I’ve been imagining this moment right here for 20 years. I wanted to end tonight by saying this moment was far greater than I could’ve ever imagined.”

After accomplishing pretty much everything a WWE Superstar can at this point in his career, Cena is effectively completing all of the sidequests in his wrestling career before officially going for the final boss – his retirement match – at some point in the not-too-distant future. If wrestling in India was on his wrestling bucket list, it's crossed off now.

John Cena earns a massive endorsement from a Perfect 10.

Speaking of John Cena, completely unprompted, the “Face That Runs the Place” earned a massive compliment from Shawn Spears, who confirmed his “GOAT” status in an appearance on Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana.

“It was the most stressful, ridiculous, perfect storm of what could possibly go wrong,” Spears recalled via Fightful. “Kentucky Kingdom is an outdoor show. It's a nice stadium, holds 83,000 people. We had an eight-match card, but because there was a severe rainstorm…I think Jerry Lawler was on the show, but me and John would go last. There was a crazy downpour, and the matches went from eight to three. John wasn't there yet. The good saving grace was that Cody [Cody Rhodes] talked to John beforehand. John asked him, ‘who is this guy, what's he all about?' Cody said some good things. When I ran into John, he said, ‘Cody said some good things about you, we'll be good, we'll do this, this, and this,' and then he walked off. ‘Okay.' We went out there, it's pouring rain, I went out first, he comes out on a hummer with soldiers walking beside him, and the place was deafening. It was crazy. If you've ever been in a wrestling ring when it's been wet, I'm assuming most haven't, but it's like ice. When people sweat, people slip, and someone can get really hurt. The fear was, if this guy goes down, it's on my watch. They're going to look at me. To his credit, he is one of the absolute professional athletes on this planet. A lot of people will give John slack about his wrestling ability, say whatever you want about his wrestling ability, he is one of the greatest workers, and there is a difference between working and wrestling, he's one of the greatest workers of all time.”

Though it feels like a lifetime ago, Spears actually did wrestle Cena back in the day when he was honing their craft in OVW, with the former failing to take the WWE Heavyweight Title off of the leader of CeNation at a special OVW Six Flags Summer Sizzler Series show in July of 2007. While some may have simply worked this match and moved on with their lives, as Cena was kind of a big deal in 2007, taking the time to wrestle a 26-year-old in Kentucky when there was no guarantee that he would ever make the main roster, let alone become a “Perfect 10” surely meant the world to the pride of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. To even now, some 16 years later, put over Cena for his professionalism and in-ring abilities just proves how much of a lasting impact the “Face That Runs the Place” has on the rest of the professional wrestling universe.
