7 WWE Stars Harmed By Feuding With John Cena

7. Eve Torres & Zack Ryder

The entire 'Embrace the Hate' story at the beginning of 2012 was a shambles from start to finish, and pretty much everyone involved came out of it looking awful, with the exception of Cena. Kane is fairly immune to ridiculousness so probably wasn't too hurt by it, but Zack Ryder and Eve Torres were truly destroyed by the time it was over.

Zack Ryder had somehow managed to get himself over in a huge way thanks to the power of social media, but once he won the United States Championship from Dolph Ziggler in late 2011 it was all to the firepit from there. Kane repeatedly injured him, and our new hero needed our old hero to save him. Along the way Cena kissed the object of his affection and generally made Zack look like a joke, something from which Ryder has never recovered.

The object of the affection mentioned above was Eve, and the worst aspects of John Cena the character came out in his all-too-frequent misogynistic rants at her. Slut-shaming has no place in this world, and getting an entire arena to chant 'hoeski' was particularly low.

The story did nothing but make Eve out to be a fairly toothless imbecile, the opposite of how she had been up until that point. The feud may have been Cena vs. Kane, but Eve and Ryder's involvement only hurt them both in the long term.
