5 WWE Superstars Who Hate John Cena In Real Life
John Cena has been the face of the franchise for over a decade and a half. His resilience, embodiment of values like loyalty and respect, and his “never give up” mantra have made him an icon. While Cena has transitioned to a part-time role in WWE to focus on his Hollywood aspirations, he’s shown no sign of hanging up his wrestling boots permanently. However, with great fame often comes great animosity. In Cena’s case, not all the behind-the-scenes stories cast him in the positive light that his on-screen character suggests. While some criticisms may stem from jealousy or professional rivalries, certain WWE superstars have had their share of grievances against Cena, alleging personal and professional tensions. Firstly, the well-documented friction between Cena and “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson is hard to ignore. Their on-screen feud was a thing of legends, culminating in an epic WrestleMania showdown that smashed PPV buy records. But this rivalry wasn’t just limited to their scripted roles. Years before their high-profile match, Cena criticized The Rock for leveraging his WWE fame to transition to Hollywood, suggesting a lack of genuine passion for the wrestling business. When The Rock made his WWE comeback, he didn’t hesitate to lambast Cena. Their back-and-forth wasn’t just for show, with off-the-script jabs becoming frequent, like Cena’s mocking of The Rock for needing written prompts during promos. Their off-screen tensions reached a point where they almost had physical altercations backstage. Interestingly, Cena’s subsequent move to Hollywood and a reduced WWE role mirrors The Rock’s career trajectory, something he once heavily criticized. Chris Masters, another superstar who emerged around Cena’s initial championship run, has voiced his issues with Cena. Masters believes Cena was resistant to working with him, expressing dissatisfaction with Masters’ wrestling style. In a podcast interview, Masters revealed that while he accepted some blame for their lack of in-ring chemistry, he felt that Cena wasn’t entirely supportive or willing to build a working relationship. Then, there’s CM Punk, a name that evokes strong emotions in the WWE universe. In one of his most iconic promos, Punk acknowledged that while he didn’t have personal animosity towards Cena, he detested the idea that Cena was portrayed as the best in the business. This sentiment was echoed by actor and former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr., who suggested that Punk’s disdain was rooted in Cena’s character – the invincible hero who constantly triumphs. Prinze Jr. also hinted at the irony that Punk, years later, exhibited similar tendencies as Cena when he held a significant position in the business. Wade Barrett, leader of the infamous Nexus faction, also had a rocky relationship with Cena. Fans and industry insiders alike were disappointed when Cena almost single-handedly defeated the Nexus at SummerSlam 2010, a move seen as squandering a fresh, exciting storyline. Barrett, in multiple interviews, has openly admitted that he and Cena didn’t get along personally or professionally, further fueling speculation of backstage animosities. Lastly, Chavo Guerrero hasn’t been shy about his feelings towards Cena. On several occasions, Chavo took to social media to voice his critiques, once challenging Cena’s wrestling prowess by claiming he could out-wrestle Cena effortlessly. Chavo continued his critique in media interviews, questioning Cena’s in-ring abilities and contrasting him with truly versatile wrestlers like Triple H, Rey Mysterio, and Randy Orton. Chavo even threatened to boycott wrestling if Cena ever surpassed Ric Flair’s record of 16 championship wins, a claim he didn’t uphold when Cena equaled the record in 2017. In conclusion, while John Cena’s legacy as one of WWE’s greatest superstars is undeniable, it’s clear that his journey to the top wasn’t without its share of real-life conflicts and disputes. Whether these tensions were based on professional decisions or personal disagreements, they highlight the complex tapestry of relationships in the world of professional wrestling.
Grayson Waller Will Host John Cena Next Week On WWE Smackdown
John Cena is coming back to WWE SmackDown every week until October, and WWE has revealed how he’ll make his next appearance on the blue brand. John Cena will return to SmackDown next Friday. He’ll be a guest on the Grayson Waller Effect talk show on September 15. WWE officially announced this segment during last week’s SmackDown. Waller himself shared the news while commentating on Austin Theory’s match against LA Knight on SmackDown. The self-assured Aussie claimed that Cena would finally get the chance to interact with Grayson Waller. He also expressed his excitement on Twitter once the segment was confirmed. This encounter promises to be intense because Cena and Waller had a physical confrontation a few months ago at the Money in the Bank 2023 premium live event. Cena made a surprising return to WWE to support London as a potential WrestleMania host, but his speech was interrupted by Waller. Cena was advocating for a WrestleMania in the United Kingdom when Waller, a 33-year-old star, interrupted him. Waller delivered a villainous promo, stating that the UK crowd didn’t deserve a WrestleMania, but Australia did. He then took a cheap shot at Cena, trying to take him out, but Cena responded with an Attitude Adjustment. It’s unclear what Cena’s next move will be in terms of a feud. This could set up a Cena vs. Waller rivalry or continue the existing issues between Cena and The Miz. These problems were reignited when Cena served as the special guest referee for The Miz vs. LA Knight match at Payback. The Miz followed this up by attacking an invisible Cena on Raw last week. The Cena vs. Grayson Waller match that was anticipated to happen at WWE Superstar Spectacle in India didn’t materialize. Cena’s first match since WrestleMania 39, where he lost to Austin Theory in a United States Championship match, took a different turn during the WWE Live Event in India. This is why he missed this week’s WWE SmackDown. In the main event of Superstar Spectacle 2023, John Cena and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci) in a tag team match. Both men executed their finishing moves (Attitude Adjustment and Pedigree) for a double pin-fall win. Now that Cena has completed his match in India, he will be back on WWE SmackDown starting next week. WWE is promoting his appearances throughout September and October. This essentially confirms his presence at the early October PLE Fastlane and possibly at Crown Jewel later in the month.
5 Rookie Superstars Who Are Yet To Face John Cena
John Cena, a famous WWE legend, recently announced that he will be available for two whole months in WWE after appearing at Money in The Bank in London in 2023. Cena initially revealed his return for WWE Superstar Spectacle in India, which just ended, and an episode of SmackDown afterward. However, WWE has now released Cena’s schedule for two consecutive months following that. Cena’s return to the wrestling world is highly anticipated, and fans are eagerly waiting for the Leader of Cenation to have a match. Cena’s last match was against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39, which he unfortunately lost. Nevertheless, here are five potential opponents John Cena could face now that he is back: 1. John Cena vs. Gunther for the WWE Intercontinental Championship Despite his long and successful career in WWE, John Cena has never won the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Winning this prestigious title would be a remarkable achievement for him. Gunther, the current champion, is one of the most dominant champions alongside Roman Reigns and recently broke the record for the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion. Recently, Cena’s Instagram post featuring Gunther has sparked speculation about a potential rivalry between them. Competing against Cena could elevate Gunther’s status as one of the best Intercontinental Champions in recent history. 2. John Cena vs. Grayson Waller At Money in The Bank 2023, John Cena made his return to WWE after being away for several months. The moment Cena’s theme music hit the O2 Arena in London, the crowd erupted with excitement. During his appearance, Cena dropped hints about a possible WrestleMania event in London. Meanwhile, Grayson Waller also entered the scene and hinted at a ‘Mania event taking place in Australia. This playful exchange between Cena and Waller escalated, leading to Waller delivering a surprise attack on Cena from behind. However, the segment concluded with Cena making a strong comeback, executing his signature move, the Attitude Adjustment (AA), on Waller. The rivalry between Cena and Grayson Waller remains unresolved, and WWE has just announced a special segment called the “Grayson Waller Effect” with John Cena as the guest on the upcoming SmackDown episode. This could potentially pave the way for a match between the two on SmackDown or even at Fastlane. Both Cena and Waller possess immense talent, and a showdown between them could create the classic dynamic of a hero (Cena) versus a villain (Waller), adding to the excitement of WWE fans. 3.John Cena vs. Karrion Kross Karrion Kross is a rising star in WWE, and he has a dream – to step into the ring with one of the all-time greats, John Cena. Kross holds immense respect for the 16-time World Champion. Despite being 36 years old, he sees Cena as an ideal future opponent. In an interview with BT Sport, Kross expressed his admiration for Cena and shared his desire to face him. “I believe John Cena would be the perfect opponent for me in the future. While many wrestlers mention dream rivalries with The Rock or Brock Lesnar, I’ve always wished for the chance to work with John. The prospect of being in the ring with a legend of his caliber, perhaps with a packed arena, would be truly fantastic. It’s like two different wrestling eras colliding. I’ve drawn a lot of inspiration from the athletes of his time,” Kross stated. During the same interview, Kross commended Cena for his unparalleled work ethic in the wrestling business. He also revealed that having the opportunity to face Cena would be an incredible honor. “When the timing is right, and I’ve gained more experience in the eyes of the fans, perhaps I’ll be given the chance,” Kross added. Karrion Kross’s aspirations to face John Cena reflect his ambition to test his skills against a legendary figure and make a mark in the wrestling world. 4. John Cena vs. LA Knight LA Knight is currently one of WWE’s most popular superstars. Although he played the role of a villain (heel) a few months ago, the change in how the crowd reacts to Knight has gradually turned him into a beloved character (babyface). Knight is currently enjoying the peak of his career. He’s currently involved in an ongoing rivalry with The Miz, and fans don’t anticipate WWE suddenly changing their plans and pitting him against John Cena. During the Payback event, Cena served as a special guest referee in a match between The Miz and LA Knight. The entire match, along with Cena raising Knight’s hand on the stage, dropped subtle hints about a potential future match between them. One conceivable matchup could involve Cena and Knight teaming up against The Miz and Grayson Waller. However, partnering with Cena in a tag team might not provide the same career-boosting opportunity as a singles feud or match against him would offer Knight. If LA Knight had remained a villain, Cena’s return might have led to a showdown between the two. Despite his popularity with the fans, defeating Cena could have been the ultimate boost for LA Knight’s career. The prospect of a clash between John Cena and LA Knight remains a possibility, and WWE fans are eager to see how this storyline develops in the future. 5. Cody Rhodes Challenge to John Cena While Cody Rhodes is not a newcomer to WWE, the seasoned wrestler known as “The American Nightmare” has recently expressed his desire to step into the ring with John Cena. Rhodes stated that he is eager to face Cena if the latter is willing to engage in one more epic battle. Cody Rhodes currently enjoys significant popularity as one of the company’s top heroes (babyfaces). He is seeking to build momentum, possibly to challenge Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins for the top spot in WWE. A match against Cena would not only be a significant challenge but also a victory that could enhance Rhodes’ journey to the pinnacle of WWE. Cena represents the pinnacle of success in professional wrestling, and Rhodes aims to conquer that pinnacle as he
WWE Confirms The Match Card For Next Episode Of WWE Smackdown – 15th September 2023
As the thrills of professional wrestling continue to draw millions to their screens every week, WWE has just announced an intriguing lineup for the upcoming SmackDown episode set for September 15, 2023. This comes on the heels of dramatic events, fiery confrontations, and unforgettable moments from past episodes, leaving fans in great anticipation. The center of attention next week will undoubtedly be the rematch between LA Knight and The Miz. It’s no secret that both superstars have been on a collision course. Their face-offs over the past month have been characterized by personal jibes, fierce encounters, and a competitive spirit that only WWE can deliver. Their duel at Payback 2023 PLE remains fresh in the minds of many. Knight, displaying an unparalleled combination of skill and determination, emerged victorious. But what made the match more compelling was the sudden inclusion of John Cena as the special guest referee. John Cena, no stranger to the squared circle’s limelight, found himself in the crosshairs of The Miz’s frustration. On RAW’s episode from September 4, The Miz held Cena responsible for his setback at Payback. However, with the confidence typical of a seasoned fighter like Knight, he didn’t hesitate to offer The Miz a shot at redemption. Their exchange this week on SmackDown led to Knight successfully lobbying backstage for their rematch, with Adam Pearce giving the green light. But the 15th September SmackDown episode is not only about this much-anticipated rematch. John Cena is all set to make waves in the Grayson Waller Effect segment. Those who have been keeping tabs would recall Cena’s recent interaction with Grayson Waller at the Money in the Bank event. Waller, perhaps a tad overzealous, saw fit to interrupt Cena’s promo. The subsequent trash talk culminated in Cena delivering a classic Attitude Adjustment to Waller, a moment that left the WWE Universe in uproarious applause. Now, the grapevine is buzzing with more speculations. With Austin Theory consistently accompanying Waller since dropping the United States title last month, there’s a palpable tension in the air. Theory, who has history with Cena after retaining his United States title against him at WrestleMania 39, might very well be part of the upcoming segment. The consistent appearances of Theory and Waller together and their shared animosity with Cena have sparked rumors. Whispers of a tag team match – LA Knight & Cena versus Waller & Theory – are making rounds, and fans are waiting with bated breath. While the confirmed lineup excites in its own right, the location of the episode is another reason for fans to be ecstatic. The Ball Arena in Denver, CO, known for its electric atmosphere, will play host. With the Coloradan crowd known for its passion and energy, the night promises to be one of the year’s most memorable events. As of now, the event card showcases the anticipated segment with John Cena on the Grayson Waller Effect and the thrilling contest between LA Knight and The Miz. With storylines intersecting and rivalries heating up, the 15th September episode is shaping up to be a classic. Fans across the globe will be tuning in, eager to witness history in the making, as the superstars of WWE look set to deliver a show that promises high-octane action, drama, and moments that will be talked about for ages. As always, in the WWE Universe, one can always expect the unexpected.
John Cena Gets Emotional After His First WWE Match In India, Says “He Waited 20 Years For This Moment”
John Cena is a superstar in his own right, and his name always carries significant value. Despite taking on a part-time role for the past six years, he’s now on the longest continuous run in this capacity. Recently, John Cena headlined WWE Superstar Spectacle in India, where he teamed up with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and emerged victorious. This was a special moment for Cena as it marked his first-ever wrestling appearance in India, and he had openly expressed his eagerness for this opportunity. Despite the short duration of his time in India, Cena received an unsurprisingly huge reaction from the crowd, as he has a devoted fan base in the country. After defeating Giovanni Vinci, who was once hailed as the pound-for-pound strongest man in WWE, with a double-finish involving a Stomp and Attitude Adjustment, John Cena closed the evening with a heartfelt message for the fans present: “I wanted to ensure that everyone could hear my words tonight. Though it might be a short message, its significance holds great meaning to me. I appreciate the opportunity to be here with you all this evening. Sometimes, we feel something inside that touches us emotionally. I want to share something with all of you, and you can tell me if I’m alone in this, but I’m going to share it anyway. I’ve been imagining this moment for 20 years. I want to conclude tonight by saying that this moment was far greater than anything I could have ever imagined.” Meanwhile, on RAW, Imperium’s Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci have been making an impression, especially Kaiser. However, the spotlight recently shifted to their leader, Gunther, who retained the Intercontinental Title by defeating Chad Gable. With this victory, Gunther now holds the record for the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. On another note, John Cena is slated to make appearances on several episodes of Smackdown in the future, so it remains to be seen what WWE has planned for him. What are your thoughts on John Cena’s speech? Would you like to see him return to India in the future? Share your opinions in the comments below!
WWE Payback 2023 Merchandise Sale: Cody Rhodes Tops The Chart, John Cena Ranks Second
The energetic ambiance in and around WWE Payback 2023 wasn’t just fueled by powerhouse wrestling moves and feuds settling inside the ring. A large part of the buzz stemmed from the merchandise stands outside, where fans eagerly scooped up their favorite WWE and AEW merchandise. This year’s sales figures are in, and they’ve revealed some fascinating insights into which wrestlers are currently commanding the most fan love. While both AEW and WWE have a longstanding tradition of offering a plethora of merchandise to their fans, it’s always intriguing to see which stars and products are the best sellers. These sales can frequently indicate which superstars are receiving the most adulation, often influencing future bookings and spotlight moments. Sean Sapp of Fightful, a trusted name in the wrestling community, recently shed light on some interesting tidbits concerning the sales dynamics of both brands. A consistent trend in merchandise sales at WWE events is the dominance of general WWE-themed products. At Payback 2023, this was no exception. The sales charts were ruled by the universal WWE merchandise—everything from shirts boasting the Payback logo to classic WWE-branded shirts and even the coveted title belts and briefcases. It’s a testament to the brand’s power that a single title belt’s sales can outstrip the combined sales of multiple superstar shirts. But the real story here, especially for ardent fans, is in the individual talent rankings. Former AEW superstar, Cody Rhodes, who has had a mesmerizing journey in the wrestling world, clinched the top position, leaving behind none other than John Cena in merchandise sales. This is a monumental accomplishment given that Cena’s merchandise, especially his newly released items, have been known to fly off the shelves. Rhodes’ surge in popularity, as evidenced by this achievement, points to an increasingly diverse fan base and a shift in fan loyalty. Following closely and locking in the third position was LA Knight. His journey to this spot has been unique. A considerable portion of his sales historically came from online platforms and Fanatics. However, noticing the rising demand, WWE has strategically made more of his merchandise accessible at live shows. This move clearly paid off, judging by the sales figures from Payback 2023. Drawing attention to the AEW’s All In event, there was a standout in merchandise sales as well. The “Better than you Baybay” merchandise line became a massive hit, underscoring the traction of this catchphrase with the fans. This item’s success is another testimony to the power of relatable phrases and how they can resonate with an audience, turning into commercial success stories. In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, merchandise sales are just one of the myriad ways fans show their support for their favorite superstars. These figures, while commercially beneficial, also offer a glimpse into the shifts in fan preferences, loyalties, and the overall zeitgeist of the moment. They often provide a roadmap for companies on which wrestlers to spotlight more and which narratives to potentially explore. Cody Rhodes topping this chart and surpassing John Cena is not just a commercial success but an indication of how stories and characters in the wrestling domain continue to change and evolve, reflecting the broader shifts in audience preferences. With these revelations, one can only anticipate the excitement the next events, both in-ring and outside, will bring. But one thing’s for sure – Ringside News will be on top of it all, offering fans the latest and most significant stories from the world of pro wrestling. The wrestling universe is vast, dynamic, and forever surprising, and as always, fans are advised to stay tuned because you just never know what’s next.

The fans’ ecstatic reactions didn’t end there. As the 16-time world champion teamed up with the current heavyweight champion, Rollins, the energy levels soared even higher. It was clear that the Indian audience had eagerly anticipated this very moment for years. Witnessing Cena’s wrestling prowess on Indian soil was nothing short of a dream come true for many. As the bell rang, marking the commencement of the match, Rollins initially took on Vinci. However, in a strategic move, he quickly tagged in Cena, resulting in an ecstatic uproar from the fans. Cena and Vinci didn’t hold back, engaging in a fierce battle of strength and technique. However, the atmosphere underwent a notable shift when Kaiser, entering on Vinci’s tag, attempted to mock Rollins’ theme song. But if he had hoped to win over the audience with this act, he was sorely mistaken. The crowd responded with a mix of jeers and cheers, displaying their unwavering allegiance to Rollins. Not stopping at this, Kaiser then set his sights on Cena, mimicking the iconic “you can’t see me” gesture. Clearly trying to position himself as the match’s primary antagonist, Kaiser succeeded in drawing the ire of fans present. The intensity of the match escalated with Rollins showcasing his undeniable skill. He managed to tackle both Kaiser and Vinci, hitting them with a synchronized double dropkick. Rollins, not letting the momentum shift, executed a middle-rope torpedo directed at Kaiser. But just when it seemed that Rollins was on an unstoppable trajectory, Vinci intervened, paving the way for Imperium’s comeback. With Rollins under relentless assault from Kaiser, Cena, positioned outside, was palpably eager to get tagged. The climax of the match was both thrilling and unexpected. Cena, displaying his signature prowess, executed his iconic AA move on Vinci. Almost simultaneously, Rollins, not to be outdone, hit Kaiser with a stunning Falcon Arrow. This synchronized demonstration of skill led to Cena and Rollins securing their much-deserved victory.
