Charles Robinson reacts to the viral collision with John Cena.
Charles Robinson had quite a run-in this past Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The senior WWE official answered Seth Rollins’ call when the Visionary asked for a referee during the Undisputed WWE Championship main event between John Cena and CM Punk at Night of Champions.
Unfortunately for Robinson, his run was interrupted by the “Last Real Champion” who tossed the 61-year-old to the other side just as the referee was about to enter the ring. The moment quickly became viral with some praising Robinson for taking bumps despite his advanced age. Others drew similarities with his iconic sprint to the ring at WrestleMania XXIV.
Charles Robinson jokes about not seeing John Cena during viral collision
Charles Robinson recently appeared on RAW Recap hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts to talk about his viral collision with John Cena at WWE Night of Champions.
“WrestleMania XXIV… it was a pin cover, right? So I’m running as hard as I can,” he said. “This (Night of Champions) was a cash-in, so I’m running about 80%. I’m not giving it my all; I’m trying to hold back. It’s a funny stride. I’m trying to hold back, thank God, because if I’d been going 100%, the collision would have been much worse.
“I’m running down the ramp, and I see movement out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was Stu, the camera guy. Yeah, right? Yeah. So then I divert back straight. All of a sudden, BAM, I’m airborne. And they tell me that John Cena hit. Is that who hit me (laughs)?”
