2) Alex Riley
There has been a long-standing rumor that former WWE star Alex Riley and John Cena had a ton of heat towards one another.
Riley appeared on the Ross Report podcast where he was asked about his issues with Cena. Riley admitted that there was an incident that changed his career path, but he wouldn’t go into details:
“I’ll put it this way. There was an incident and it certainly changed the path of my career. I don’t want to discuss it right now, but I will one day for sure. I will one day. It was a tough situation at times, I guess we can leave it at that”
He continued:
“Honestly, JR, I struggle with the morality of even talking about it and I’m not into blowing up anybody else at this point, but I promise you this, I will address it one day for sure. You don’t want to know. It was a tough situation”
It is unclear what happened between the two, but there was a clear beef with one another and something happened that lead to Riley getting released from the company in 2016.
I think we can safely add Riley to the list of former WWE stars who hate John Cena…
1) Ryback
On an episode of his podcast: Conversation With The Big Guy, Ryback says that John Cena has been a piece of “S***” to him since day one.
He says that Cena is responsible for Alex Riley being released because of personal issues that he had with him. He doesn’t go into detail about the issues and says that he will let Riley be the one to explain. Ryback says that when fans find out what really happened, they are going to lose their minds.
Ryback talks about Cena burying Riley:
“John would sit back there and bury Riley in front of everyone, for no reason”.
Ryback also calls Cena ‘poison’:
“He’s been poison to the wrestling industry… This is my opinion, but I think I’m pretty accurate on this. I think He did so much harm for so long to new talent that was breaking out up there and I had my experiences up there and other talent had their experiences”
Safe to say that Ryback isn’t a fan of him.
