John Cena Says He And Adam Copeland Are ‘A Pair Of Old Shoes’ Because They Were Comfortable From Their First Match Together

John Cena discusses he and Adam Copeland’s rivalry, noting that they are a pair of old shoes together.

Through the course of the pairs decorated careers, Copeland and Cena would square off in several high profile bouts, both being amongst each other’s biggest, most iconic rivals.

While speaking to SI’s The Takedown, John Cena spoke about not getting the chance to work with Copeland during his retirement tour.

“I think both of us understood about something like (the retirement tour) it is the sports entertainment business. But then again, I only had 36 dates. I can’t work with everybody. Gosh, I had tons of fun with Khali, all of my opponents, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Batista. You name it, we could have just run the gambit of folks. I would run out of time trying to tell you the people I wanted to face. I did my best to pay my respects to those I didn’t get to share the ring with by doing some homage moves and moments to acknowledge their contributions to my life. But I talk to Adam often. We are a pair of old shoes. And the reason we use those words is because the first time we stepped in the ring, it just felt comfortable, and that’s really rare. We just fit like an old pair of shoes. And we had a million matches since then and I’m so grateful for everything we could do for each other.”
