John Cena reveals how he discovered wrestler Mason Rook

John Cena revealed how he discovered professional wrestler Mason Rook, formerly known as Will Kroos, prior to Rook’s debut with WWE’s NXT brand. While filming ‘Matchbox: The Movie’ in Hungary, Cena watched UK wrestling broadcasts on his hotel television. Cena noted that while Rook is known for his physical moves, he was particularly impressed by the performer’s storytelling abilities.

Cena later encountered Rook in person during a WWE event in Glasgow, where Rook was working as an extra. Cena expressed his admiration for Rook’s nuance and ability to carry himself in the ring, noting that the performer possessed a rare talent for storytelling that went beyond mere athleticism.
