Major WWE Star Confesses They Were Wrong About John Cena
Is John Cena a bully in the locker room? Or does he lead by example?
In the final week of John Cena’s retirement tour, former WWE Superstar David Otunga revealed some stories that claimed that The Champ bullied him and was not the man his fans think him to be.
However, he seems to be the only one who has had this experience, at least so far. Booker-T reacted to this accusation and called out Otunga for it.
Finn Balor has a glorious review of John Cena’s backstage conduct
Recently, The Prince interviewed with Alex McCarthy of The Sun. In that, he spoke about his main roster call-up in 2016, the same time when John Cena was at the top. He revealed that The Champ led by example, and everyone looked up to him and respected him. In fact, Cena’s backstage conduct seemed to oppose the myths of WWE’s toxic culture.
However, it didn’t take long before he realized that it was John Cena who worked as a leader in the locker room and was professional, and not everyone is the same.
The thing I remember most about John and the early years in WWE is just that I thought that was the norm. I came into WWE with a lot of wrestling experience but no WWE experience and didn’t really understand how cutthroat or ruthless it can be backstage. But of course, when I get brought in like 2016, John was at the top and he’s kind of like the leader in the locker room and backstage.
He leads by example and not fear and threats. He was just a really, really good leader that everyone looked up to and respected and admired for his work ethic. He was really, really easy to deal with, and I thought, wow, these WWE guys are really, really professional.
I can’t believe it’s so easy. I come in here as this new kid, I guess potentially a threat to their position on the card and the main guy is just so cool. Wow, I can’t believe it. Surely this doesn’t happen everywhere? I’ve heard all these horror stories about all sorts of politicking and whatever. ‘But that doesn’t exist here in WWE – that’s crazy. Things have really changed.’
I was wrong. That only applies to John. There’s only one John Cena. There’s only one 17-time champion, future Hall of Famer. But no one commands the respect (he does), but gives the respect that he gives at the same time. I guess I naively thought all WWE superstars were going to be like that and fast-forward 10-11 years, I’ve discovered that that’s not the case and it’s made me even more grateful for how John treated me when I entered WWE and for that, I’ll always be grateful.
