AJ Styles benefit the most of Nerf Cena especially where he pin him clean at Summerslam.

King OceanBlu yes the script on how the finish goes not who wins which he stated

So in other words his ego saw another opportunity to be the great hero by being the winner of the match against the new faction that had been running over everyone else, that and he couldn't handle fans were talking more about Nexus than him. Who was he hanging around with at the time in his spare time Hogan, Shawn and Hunter?

This match happened almost 10 years ago and everyone hates on it because of the finish. I’m not hating on the Nexus, but a lot of the guys in that group did almost nothing. Barrett only got as far the Intercontinental title (he held it 5 times), Slater won tag team titles 4 times and won the 24/7 title, Gabriel won the tag titles with Slater then became a dancing a Bunny Rabbit, Ryback only had the Intercontinental Title once, nobody even knows about Tarver anymore, Otunga won the tag titles twice in two completely forgettable reigns, and Darren Young only had the tag titles once with Titus O Neill in a forgettable run overshadowed by The New Day. Everyone will probably say “this is all Cena’s fault, he buried the entire Nexus” he didn’t bury them. He put them over multiple times for months. He took a lot of losses in 2010 because of Nexus. They just did not have the “it” factor. The only ones who maybe could’ve been WWE Champion successfully are Barrett and Ryback. The rest are jobber level wrestlers or mid carders at best. If Cena truly had creative input on everything, he’d never lose a match. Look at his track record at Summerslam specifically. Cena’s only won 5 times, but he’s lost 9 times which includes him having a 6 year losing streak at this event from 2011 to 2016. Cena will put guys over, but the reality is if Vince doesn’t believe in them why is he going to have them win over the face of the company at a big PPV like Summerslam? Why doesn’t anyone talk about how well this match elevated Daniel Bryan’s career? He was rehired to work at this a PPV and a month later he was United States Champion and then we all know he went on to win the World Heavyweight Championship, the tag titles with Kane, then the WWE Championship 3 times (including his main event victory at WrestleMania 30), followed by an Intercontinental Title reign cut short due to injury, he retired and then fought back to get back in the ring. He won the WWE Title again and then won the SmackDown Tag Titles with Rowan. Bryan had the “it” factor and WWE knew it. He was pushed heavily in this match. Cena barely even fought in this match. He only fought maybe the last ten minutes or so. Cena took a back seat for the majority of this match and Daniel Bryan carried the team. To say that Cena “buried” the Nexus is ridiculous. You can’t push a whole 7 man faction, they didn’t even have enough championships to go around for all these guys. Sorry if you “hardcore WWE fans” are hurt by a nearly 10 year old match, but the reality is the match is over and the end result can’t be changed.

They were trying to ushering building new stars

In hindsight I hate to admit it but I think Vince/Cena was right to bury Nexus. I was a HUGE fan of Barrett especially, so I was mad about this for ages. But I think business-wise it was more important for WWE to not push Nexus so hard because Barrett wasn't cut out to be a top guy. He was a fantastic talker but unfortunately he was injury prone, and that time it was really early on for him. If they had committed to Wade as a long term main eventer he would have constantly been out. I'm not saying he's bad, I'm saying that it was a safer option to keep him around the midcard. Also, nobody from that current iteration of Nexus really got that far. Ryback did as well as he did even with that huge push later on, Darren was a tag guy, Heath a job guy with something here and there. Miz's push has worked out better because although he's not a top guy, he's been consistent and trustworthy to slot in as a recurring mid-high card heel. Also with The Rock returning into WM season then, the company benefitted more from concentrating more on him as the big deal to work with Cena and other top acts over the next couple of years. Also, Punk caught fire too. If Nexus and Wade had been super hot it may have impacted those plans. Just my thoughts, I love Wade and I'm happy he had a good run and he's back on commentary but yeah I was super mad at the time.

He then spoke with Arn Anderson who said that Cena will be winning, then held his hands up and said don't be upset with me talk to Vince, which he did. Vince said that he thought Cena shld win bc he wanted Summerslam to have a happy ending. Wade said he felt like he was being lied to then, and still doesn't believe it. Sounds like the "Hogan must pose" type of answer lol. I'm sure Cena had some sort of creative control bc I've heard him admit that it was his idea to take the DDT on the floor and still come back to win. Then, in this video he says he was wrong.

Remember John said that he had no control over the outcome, but that he had control over what happened during the match. Obviously, he was referring to the in-match buildup to the outcome - the spots and the storytelling. Jericho even pointed that out specifically, saying that it was dumb for John to get DDT'd outside the ring only to eliminate both Gabriel and Barrett. That's what Cena admits he was wrong about.

Rassler = Always lying Cool jump in logic, you must be very proud

Cena should run for office. Because I've never seen someone who ISN'T a politician dance around a question as much as he did here. Maybe then, we can have Mayor Kane bury HIM for once.

Same could be said for when Cena beat Bray at Mania but his momentum led him to a WWE championship reign and multiple Universal title reigns and incredible characters such as the Fiend and his last presentation of himself. Barrett should have become world champion, all we got from the Nexus was Daniel Bryan who also left the faction and was a part of that burial.

Wade Barrett also said that Vince said that Cena should win cuz it's summerslam and it should be a happy ending. I believe Cena on this one because for many years he's been saying that he just does what he's told. I think that's what he means whenever he says he's "consistent" as a worker.

Summerslam has a lot of heel endings

We know why. Lets not get it twisted. They were going to win, Cena said no and regrets and knows that it was a bad idea. If that was the case them Wrestlemania 2000 should of been Rock vs HHH for the WWF Championship and Rock should of went over to send the crowd home happy. But politics and foolishness led to a fatal 4 way and HHH somehow still champion. Rock should of also won the debut of smackdown but again, politics. So the fact that he even came up with the idea is asinine

"not gonna work for me brother"😂

Notice how he precedes his answer with a bunch of bs, puts the onus of the blame on someone else, says “uh” about it, I mean the guy can’t just come out and admit he was selfish and used his clout to get things changed.

and now he killed baron crobins career

Well good part on John Cena, actually admitting he was wrong and he shouldn’t have fought Vince over going over. In highlight Cena assumed he was going to fight Nexus for the remainder of the year in which he would put Wade Barrett over.

I don’t think he should’ve put them over. Even if the nexus got over I don’t think there would’ve been much for the group to do because at the end of the feud they’re still lose to lose to Cena. Wade Barrett honestly wasn’t world champion material but okay if the smarks feel like wade should’ve been champion then so be it

"Topic of debate" when pretty much EVERYONE says team wwe should have lost. He as face of the company gets more sway than he lets on. It is Vince's decision, but Cena definitely could have made a case for him going over. Jericho and Edge both say they told cena their group should lose. Meaning he was unmoving on that call not Vince. And it ruined the Nexus.

John Cena talks like a Politician

Here's the bigger point, the Nexus was a group filled with extremely talented workers for the future business. And Cena buried that entire group without helping establish them. And now Cena and that group are nowhere around... the snake eating its own tail.

I do understand this stupidity. Nexus was irrelevant as anything. I remember being so happy when I did not have to see them on TV. Thank god Cena buried the shit out of them.

Full of it, he did it because he could

What a Hulk Hogan answer and what a Hulk Hogan lie, brother.

If he “just shows up” and “does what he’s told” then why is he admitting he was wrong.. 🤔

Because he knows he is lying

had they let nexus win, their momentum would have kept going and they stretched out that storyline till Survivor Series and lost then.

I love how people just assume that Cena went to Vince (the same man that ruled over Rock, Austin, HBK, Hart, Hogan, etc...) and just said, 'Yeah, Vince, I just want to win this huge match and change the supposed story for the hell of it'. This man with this amazing ability to change plans just decided to not use it at other times; like winning the WWE Title at WrestleMania 27, beating CM Punk at SummerSlam 2011, not getting punk'd by The Rock every time they matched up. Yeah, he just used this incredible power on this one instance, then just decided to never use it again. I still don't care, it was a better option for Cena to win this match; The Nexus storyline was a crap shoot to begin with, and was the absolute wrong way to try to get over 7 SuperStars to begin with, just look where they are now, heck the only two left in the WWE are the non-wrestling David Otunga and Heath Slater (who's probably next on the chopping block).

That's because of the reasoning. The reasoning behind letting Cena win at Summerslam was to let all kids go home happy. At Wrestlemania 27 Cena knew he would get the title later anyway and it was to build up his program with The Rock. He lost to Punk because even his influence couldn't change how much money WWE made through the CM Punk storyline. Punk's merch was like sold out at every arena and it went out of stock online during that time multiple times. If you think it was crap letting Nexus get over you are mistaken. The last faction that entered like that and wasn't destroyed was the Shield and look how that turned out. Every other stable was ruined early on.

@@JSmellerM Punk winning at SummerSlam did nothing, as Del Rio cashed in. Nash could've attacked during match. All the Cena loses to Punk matches did was help make a February 2013 match bigger as Cena finally won. The Shield was different, a 3-person team that were made out as brothers in arms, but did get beaten down a lot, just didn't lose as a team. Difference, they weren't pushed as the main event, if Nexus had basically beaten WWE at SummerSlam, then Barrett would've had to win WWE Title at Night of Champions. Nexus were the storyline, Shield was mid-card, and helped with CM Punk, but were fully mid-card in 2013, slowly built up. Nexus was pushed to the top way to fast. Even had they won, they collapsed soon, with injuries and numerous loses, which would've made WWE look even worse had they lost at Slam.

If Cena had no control over anything, why did punk turn heel? Why has randy never beaten him in a feud clean? Why did he destroy batista? Why did dolph lose to him constantly? Why didn't Ryback win the feud? Why didn't he lose to Rusev at WM? the list goes on and on and on.

I think he's talking out his ass. Going on about how he has no influence on which talents go over. I'm not buying it. Ever noticed, the moment he started dating nikki bella she had way more tv time and title opportunities 🤔

I’ve never seen this for some reason..so before it was cut off did he just try to say he was wrong about “choosing” to win or “how” he won.

Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan ended up becoming multi WWE Champions, so technically Nexus didnt get buried.

Cena speaks in this corporate robotic manner that I don't think he's actually human.

we just need a nexus reunion one time for a one time only fun episode of raw. i wonder what kinda stuff they would do backstage or if they would be in matches.

It’s weird how both Jericho and Edge both said it was Cena’s idea for Nexus to lose and that it was Cena who took it to Vince about changing the finish

I'm still waiting for his answer

wade barrett is easily the #1 causality of Cenawinslol era he should of been a main eventer for years to come since wade was only 29 at the time of nexus he had the look,size,mic skills,in ring skills,etc. and should of been a main eventer but he never recovered from this burial

Comment from pigs18 that sums it up nicely: "I think it would be more fair to say that Vince McMahon lends more weight to John Cena's opinion than he does many other wrestlers on the current roster. (As there have always been wrestlers that he gave more leeway to in the past four decades.) But don't kid yourself if you think he has "all the say." Vince learned that lesson with Bret Hart. Go ask Stone Cold if Vince gives a damn how big a star you are once he makes up his mind."

Bring 'Nexus' back....then put them against shield....

I feel if Nexus had won that match at SummerSlam several stars would have been born

Hindsight is always 20/20, folks. Everyone except John (and apparently Vince) knew that the Nexus should have won, but let's not jump to comparing his ego to that of Hulk "that doesn't work for me, brother" Hogan. John was the face of the company and had spent the past eight years working his ass off to get himself there. On the other hand, you have the Nexus, none of whom had ever wrestled A SINGLE WWE PPV MATCH before MAIN EVENTING A BIG FOUR PAY-PER-VIEW. I understand why someone with John's experience would be hesitant to put over a stable with the kind of experience that the Nexus had, and I appreciate that he is willing to admit that he was wrong.

Nope other superstars said it at the moment Including Vince Cena was on a power trip and Vince finally agreed

Listen when I was younger, 17 18 19 I couldn't stand John Cena he was shoved down everyone's throat, as I started to train to wrestle I couldn't stand him even more. As I've aged, I appreciate the workhorse that he was, I understand completely why he put so few people over in his prime similar to Austin triple h hogan, when you're on top of the company like that, you have the right to be the top as long as you can. I totally understand while a lot of other people don't. But he absolutely positively 100% made a mistake not putting them over. I really wish he would admit it. People crap all over triple h for his supposed run of terror bearing people but again at the time he was carrying the company on his back because how many people left? I completely support him getting that one huge run. But he still put people over he just didn't put over people that everyone wanted him to. The only person that I think he should have put over during that time that he didn't, was Booker t. I don't think Rob Van dam was ready yet, I don't think that Kane needed it especially with the direction they were going, Kevin Nash didn't need to go over, Scott Steiner I would have liked to see go over but he was just not good when he came to wwe. He had injuries and he was way behind what he was. Booker t absolutely should have gone over. But yeah this is one time for sure that John Cena is completely wrong it was his call he could have said no these guys need to go over. I mean I respect the hell out of this guy he carried that company on his shoulders for a long time and the dude is one of the hardest working people I have ever seen in my entire life. But he was wrong here

Arn Anderson has even come out said that Vince started going with 9 out of 10 of Cenas ideas, as Cenas star power grew over the years. This was one of them. John regrets going over Nexus? Did he regret going over Umaga? What about Damien Sandow? Ryback? Bray Wyatt? Rusev? Kevin Owens? Leeching off the popularity of Zack Ryder? He’s so full of it, he’s as bad as Hulk Hogan, 90s HBK and HHH when it comes to burials.

if they want to send kids home happy, then dont make it the last match

John you chose yourself and ruined the amazing build up for Wade to be a break out star

Oh My God Get Over It!!!!! Only people in that Nexus stable that have superstar written all over them was Wade. And he loss penalty of push because he couldn't stay healthy. No matter what John would have said you would have still called him a liar even if the truth was standing in your face. Is over with is done with none of those Nexus guys was going to be huge Superstars anyway and Wade Barrett could have been a major Superstar if he wouldn't have got hurt a lot.

Fr these mfs are childish af 😂😂

They were kids on this interview so that's why he was like not straight to the point on the answer because he does not want to tell the kids that they're matches are planned on who wins and who loses.

Wow John boy, you would make an exceptional politician, did anyone ever tell you that? Way to give an answer that is 50% nothing and 50% contraddicting statements....seriously, one moment you are just the guy that does what he's told and then you're the guy that was wrong? Wrong about what? Didn't you say you had no power over the decision? And awesome way to be overly defensive with that "I was wrong ONCE". Great stuff mister nice guy....

Why are people blaming him tho?

"Cause...i...didnt..want...them...to"

He might not of cared that much and just went along with it I mean he's been in 100s of different story's so who knows 🤷

Cena never gave a direct answer to the question. Also him saying 1:30 " I cant change the television show. I dont have that power I never have and that's just not something I do ". Thats bullshit. Also for him to say "I guessed wrong" show in it self that he actually did have a say in who was going to win. He was being his selfish self in not putting the Nexus over.

What about Alex Riley?

John Cena ended Wade Barrett’s career In 2 months.

He's lying. He could have put them over.

How could he have been "wrong once" about a story when he just got done with an explanation about how he doesn't have the power to change it? Sounds like some bullshit to me...

The shield was everything the Nexus should have been

It's not our sentiments that you should have lost this match... It's just fucking logic.

“I never have”, laughs in Mr. Kennedy*

I lost all respect for him as a backstage figure when he refused to put The Nexus over at SummerSlam 2010.I'd lose respect for him as a wrestler 7 years later,when he buried Baron Corbin,and only regained it 2 weeks ago.

because of a scripted show you lose respect to him

Cena is a walking example of everyone's "what if?". What if you also had to scrape and crawl to find success like he did. What if, like him, you were lucky and got that success... would you do the right thing, given the chance or would you just keep taking from less fortunate people to continue to widen the gap between your success and theirs?

Bury a whole faction, just another thing for John cena to overcome. John went to vince and said I'm winning this. So many great wrestlers never given a chance just consigned to be jobbers or the indies.

I’m one of the biggest John cena fans aways have been for people saying John had weight sure but it’s been said from cm punk podcast that John has tried to change stuff he thought was dumb and Vince has stayed to his word of what he wanted that day so my guess is it was Vince that said the nexus had to lose because in 2010 was a big year for cena and him saleing merchandise at the end of the day Vince only likes money sadly I’d be down for them to go over it made sense

John Cena can spin his version as many times and as much as he wants to and it still won't be true because the real truth was because he didn't like the idea of someone outshining him to the point where they get hand out title shots like he does. Now he seems to be losing his grip on what he has had comfortably for less than 2 decades now because you can't holding that that many people down forever.

Wade defeated Cena at Hell in a Cell afterwards.
