Some WWE fans are still upset with John Cena for not putting the Nexus over at Summerslam 2010. In case you are unfamiliar, Team WWE defeated the Nexus at the event, with Cena being the last man standing. Many fans felt like it was the wrong decision and the up and coming stable should have picked up the win. Wade Barrett spoke in a recent interview saying that he still thinks it was the wrong decision to this day.
At one of John Cena’s live shows in Australia, he was asked straight up why he didn’t put over the Nexus in 2010. Here is what his answer was:
“This has been a topic of debate amongst really hardcore WWE fans for quite some time because it is their sentiment that I should have lost that match. Why did I win that match? Because that is what we did. It’s difficult for me to blur the lines on this… but I show up to work and do what I’m told. I will give you the gratification of this: I don’t pick how the story is told, I get told that. But I do pick what goes on in the story“
He continued:
“In that particular moment, it was too much. I think if presented in another way, it could have been a little more palatable. But I can’t change the television show, I’ve never had that power and that’s something I don’t do. If you look at a laundry list of my opponents, you can tell that it’s exactly how I operate. I guessed wrong on the way that the story was told, and I guess that’s why people are so up-in-arms about it. But we tell so many stories. I was wrong once”
