What Did John Cena Say to Jey Uso?

During the Royal Rumble post-show press conference, Uso also shared an emotional interaction with Cena in the ring following their final confrontation.

[That moment was] emotional. I’m in there face-to-face with the crowd going crazy. It is crazy, but because I can’t hear nobody but him. [Cena said] ‘Before we start getting to rocking, I’m happy for you, Uce.’ I enjoy the little real things that happened in there that slide through. I take it to heart. I never would’ve thought it would be John Cena and me, the final two. His ass almost got me twice in there, but glad though. I’m very glad it was John Cena.
