The Olympic gold medalist got backstage and shared his memory of watching WWE as a kid while he was growing u and how involved he was in pro wrestling.

He also gets behind John Cena and supports him for his match at SummerSlam.

“I’mma go with John Cena, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers. So team Cena.”

Johnson also candidly spoke about the moment he went to Tokyo to represent his country and winning the Gold for the USA.

“It’s definitely been a blessing. Being able to go and compete for our country, going out there, and putting USA across my chest is definitely been a great experience. It’s so hard to put in so many words, it’s like a dream come true. Being able to hold the medal, finally holding it in my hands after the game, after the ceremony. It was crazy. I got chills going through my body; it felt like it was surreal.”

Surely, no feeling in this world is bigger than making your country proud on a big stage like the Olympics. We at Essentially Sports congratulate team USA to come home with a Gold.
