John Cena Got In Trouble For This Retirement Tour Moment

Even John Cena, during the final weeks of his career, was not immune to getting in trouble with WWE management.

During the Attitude Era, Steve Austin lived out every working person’s, who has ever had to deal with an incompetent, lazy, micromanaging, controlling boss, dream as he beat up Vince McMahon on live television every week.

Fans might have thought during the final year of John Cena’s career that he’d be immune from any trouble from his own superiors, but apparently that was not the case.

Speaking on Six Feet Under with The Undertaker, AJ Styles revealed his surprise at the personalised introduction he received that was written by Cena before their match at Crown Jewel. Styles also noted that Cena got in trouble for going around management to pay tribute to his opponent:

I get into the ring, John comes in, does his entrance. I’m stretching getting ready to rock, and he gives this paper to the announcer and I was like ‘I wonder what that is’.

“I’m stretching and I hear ‘the definition of Total Nonstop Action’, I was like ‘is he talking about me?’. You’ll see me look over like ‘you son of a gun, you got me’.

“That was really cool, and he got in trouble a little bit for that whole thing. I didn’t know that Bullet Club was gonna be in there, if you watch my reaction I was like ‘uh oh’. Really cool of him to make me feel like as big a superstar as he was in that moment.

He said ‘I got in a little trouble for that’. I was like, you’re John Cena, what are they gonna do? John got in trouble, what does that mean? I don’t know.
