Hurricane made a shock comeback almost six months ago at the annual 30-man over-the-top-rope battle royal and was quickly eliminated by Cena after entering at No21.
The former Cruiserweight Champion revealed that The Champ wasn’t really keen to be the one to throw him over the top rope but got on board thanks to a funny analogy.
The ex-World Tag Team Champion told CBS DC: “He had to agree with that spot, and he didn’t want to at first ’cause he’s the babyface, and I’m the super hero.
“He didn’t necessarily wanna try to throw me out. I had to talk him into it. He’s a super good guy, and when I explained to him, ‘I’m Hurricane, man. I gotta go after the top guy. I might be a little monkey, but I think I’m King Kong. And I’m going after Godzilla, and you’re Godzilla in there.’
“And that was almost word for word what I said, and he started laughing. And when I told him the idea, he popped for it, and it worked it out really well.
“So hats off to John and everybody for helping me keep it a secret. Cause it was difficult in this day and age to even keep that secret. But we had fun with it.”
Cena made the final three at the Royal Rumble but was then eliminated by eventual winner Shinsuke Nakamura who also offloaded runner-up Roman Reigns.
Hurricane, also known as Gregory Helms, Hurricane Helms and Shane Helms, hasn’t been seen in WWE since that night.
Cena now appears part-time with WWE as he is also juggling a Hollywood career but competed at WrestleMania 34 where he lost to The Undertaker.
The 16-time world champion’s last WWE appearance took place at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia three months ago where he beat legendary rival Triple H.
The ex-WWE Champion is set to return on October 6 at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia.
