10 Major WWE Superstars That Hated John Cena

4. CM Punk

Phil Brooks has carved out a reputation for himself as wrestling€™s Oscar the Grouch, seemingly unhappy with everyone and everything about the business that has allowed him to earn a lucrative living. It€™s the reason he walked away earlier this year after his dismal showing in the 2014 Royal Rumble and has yet to even speak publicly about his departure or the WWE in general. So it should come as no surprise that his name lands on this list, since having heat and complaining is what CM Punk is all about. Despite the fact that John Cena was one half of the best matches and biggest moments of Punk€™s WWE career, and that the two had incredible in-ring chemistry together, Punk still managed to find time to whine about the 15-time champ. It wasn€™t so much the man himself that Punk found his frustrations with, but more so the way his character was booked and the fact that he felt he had to play second fiddle to Cena at all times. Now one can question the veracity of those claims when Punk jumpstarted his entire megapush by beating Cena at Money In The Bank 2011, but Brooks has never let logic get in the way of his tantrums. It always felt like there was an uneasy begrudging respect between the two, as if they were forced to work together but would have both preferred the other didn€™t exist.
