Tacko Fall met John Cena at WWE Smackdown

Tacko Fall had the opportunity to meet one of wrestling’s most famous stars when TD Garden hosted WWE Smackdown on Friday night.

Fall greeted and chatted with 16-time world champion John Cena prior to the event in a backstage exclusive shared by WWE.com.

The 7-foot-5 Fall towered over the 6-foot, 250 pound Cena as the two exchanged pleasantries. Fall admitted to Cena that he’s a fan of his.

“Awesome, man. Very nice to meet you,” Cena responded. “Thank you for lending us the place for the night.”

The two then chatted about Boston.

Fall told Cena, who grew up in West Newbury, that Boston “is a great city” but shared that he’s not used to the cold weather.
