10 Most Poisonous Backstage Influences In WWE History

6. John Cena

It's extremely interesting to hear the likes of Tyler Reks, Alex Riley and Kenny Dykstra talk about John Cena. Riley is perhaps the least outspoken, because he's still under contract to WWE, but both Reks and Dykstra have waxed lyrical about their problems with WWE's franchise player. Their thoughts on the man differ greatly from how he's presented to the public on television. According to Dykstra, Cena had a romantic relationship behind his back with Mickie James. When the wrestler confronted his peer about this, management stepped in and admonished Kenny. Not-so-coincidentally, Dykstra was soon gone from WWE. Similarly, Tyler Reks was using a move deemed too similar to Cena's 'Attitude Adjustment'. When Cena told Reks to stop using it, Tyler was confused. Both Vince McMahon and the road agents had approved the move, so Reks was left scratching his head. During a shoot interview, the man stated that John Cena threatened to have him fired if he continued using the hold. Again, Reks was demoted and then released afterwards. As for Alex Riley, he reacted angrily towards a Cena rib, embarrassing him in front of the locker room. His push was suddenly aborted, and he blames Cena.
