Here's why the feud sucked: Kevin Federline is not a celebrity. His biggest claim to fame was that he was briefly married to Britney Spears and he had two kids with her. That's it. The guy tried having some rap career and maybe he tried acting, but he wasn't successful on his own. He was known because of who he was with. WWE brought in Federline in late 2006 as a heel because they knew he was hated for not really being a celebrity. He was booked for several appearances. Federline was booked in a No DQ Match against Cena on the January 1, 2007 edition of Raw. Johnny Nitro was in K-Fed's corner. Umaga ended up attacking Cena since he faced him at the Royal Rumble and he nailed Cena with the WWE Title. Federline actually pinned Cena to get the win. It was so sad when WWE was wasting their time putting this guy on their shows when they had a roster loaded with talent that was waiting for an opportunity. Instead, they had Federline actually beat Cena on Raw thanks to the help of Umaga. Later in the night, Cena hit him with the FU to end the rivalry. Federline's run as a celebrity was so short that most people have forgotten all about how he beat John Cena. Did Vince McMahon even know who he was? What kind of conversations did they have? That would have been interesting to see just to hear what Vince thought about the guy.
