WWE star Alex Shelley recently took to social media to share a personal update regarding his education and to offer high praise for John Cena. In a video posted to TikTok, Shelley revealed that he has enrolled in classes at Franklin University to maintain his physiotherapy license and his National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) certification. He noted that he is currently pursuing his third degree, this time in Exercise Science.

"In the new year, a lot of people are going to try a lot of new things," Shelley said. "I decided to go for my third degree... another four-year degree."

Shelley credited his ability to pursue this further education to WWE's "athlete-friendly" policies, specifically the company's tuition reimbursement program. He referenced an interview he read with John Cena approximately a year ago, where Cena discussed WWE funding talent to learn new skills.

Shelley also reflected on the various "generations" of wrestling he has participated in and the specific leaders he followed in each promotion. He named CM Punk as the leader during his time on the indies, AJ Styles in TNA, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Regarding his current tenure in WWE, Shelley identified John Cena as the leader.

"That's why John Cena is the GOAT, man. Cause he works," Shelley said. "And I'm very grateful for his contributions to the company I currently work for."
