Charles Robinson details his sprint to the ring at WWE Night Of Champions.
During the main event of WWE Night Of Champions over the weekend, Seth Rollins would look to cash in Money In The Bank after attacking John Cena and CM Punk while the referee for their bout was down. Rollins would bring Charles Robinson out to accept the cash in, but right before arriving at ringside, John Cena would shoulder tackle Robinson, sending him flying and foiling the attempted cash in by Rollins.
While speaking on the latest episode of the RAW Recap, Charles Robinson would discuss WWE Night Of Champions 2025 and getting launched by John Cena.
"It was a very wild scene. I was up in gorilla position. I just wanted to watch the last match, you know, before I got changed, tore down the ring. All of a sudden, Seth Rollins comes up. He goes, 'hey, when I call you, come down.' He had the briefcase in his hand. So I figured we're going to have a historic cash-in of the briefcase.I'm standing there, and all of a sudden, he gives the little (gestures) and I take off. So I'm running as hard as I can. Well, this is a cash in. So I'm running about 80%. I'm not giving it my all. If you look at the video, I'm trying to hold back. I'm trying to hold back a little bit. Thank God. Because if I've been going 100%, the collision would have been much worse. But I'm running down the ramp and I see movement out of my eye. I thought it was Stu, the camera guy. So then I divert back straight. All of a sudden, bam. I'm airborne. They tell me that John Cena hit me. Is that who hit me?"
Charles was then asked if he sprints in his every day life, with the WWE official noting that
"I'm like our co-host (Megan Morant) here. I love to run. But I only run three or four miles. I don't do the marathons like she does, which is very impressive. But I'll run three or four miles three or four times a week. I just love to run. I like to run my mouth, so I have to learn to sprint."
Robinson was also asked about if he was worried he would trip on his sprint to the ring at Riyadh.
"That's exactly what was going through my mind. I was so scared of that. I just wanted to get down. Slide in the ring. Grab the briefcase. Hand it over, and be done."
Robinson was then asked if he was cognizant of where he would land after the shoulder tackle, with the referee saying it was 'all John Cena'.
"I thought I'm dead. I had no idea what happened. So like I said, I was only running 80%. So a hundred percent, it could have been different. I mean, that was a long runway, too. I mean, if you look at where I landed, I was inches from the stairs.I mean, when you're up in the air like that, there's no way that you're sitting there, like, you know, calculating exactly where you're going to land. It was zero me. It had nothing to do with me. I just ran in a straight line, and he hit me. I mean... I went where he put me."
Following the spot over the weekend, Robinson would take to social media with a simple message reacting to it. You can read more about that here.
