“I sit down and Vince goes, ‘So, heard you had a little problem with Cena today. (Vince laughs)’ I was like, ‘Nah, man,’ – I try to downplay it and go, ‘I think he’s testing me. All you guys like to test me.’ And he goes, ‘Ah, don’t worry about it, I’m the only one that can fire you.’ And Kevin (Dunn) laughs at Vince’s joke. And I’m like, ‘Man, that wasn’t even that good.”
Prinze Jr added:
“But I learned in that moment, (it was a way of Vince telling him) ‘Don’t worry about it, keep doing your thing. If they’re giving you crap, I’m the only one that you need to worry about giving you crap. You could take it from everyone else.”
Prinze Jr. concluded by stating that Cena did not interrupt his promo classes in the future and that the two got along better following the first incident.
