While speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Paul Wight claimed that Cena repeatedly told him that Wight couldn’t sell merchandise as nobody would want to buy any.
He revealed:
“Don’t put it on my shirt cause even John Cena said I can’t sell merch so there you go. He used to tease me all the time, Cena used to say if my merch was money, nobody would buy it. I said ‘because I’m too busy making you look good.’ Bad guys sell tickets and good guys sell t-shirts, so there you go.”
Paul Wight is scheduled to make his in-ring debut soon at All Out against QT Marshall.
