"Actually AJ Styles arranged this. He saw us standing around, and asked if we wanted a picture. Of course we said, "Yes!" Then he asked if we got to see everyone. I told him everyone but my son's favorite, John Cena. He then told us to follow him, and took us backstage to the locker room. That's when he went and got Cena for us!!", Payton's father Justin wrote in a thread on Reddit.
