10 WWE Superstars John Cena Has ALREADY Ruined Since Going Part-Time

3. The Club

Crash test dummies for 'The Champ' and 'The Big Dog' before they smashed the sh*t out of each other, The Club were made to look minuscule in the collected presence of Messrs Cena and Reigns.

It was this needless Monday Night Raw squash that proved how destructive 'Big Match John's new 'free agent' gig could really be.

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows have been frozen out of just about everything since losing the tag team titles at WrestleMania 33, so much so that even their presence as titleholders in the contest was forgotten the second the returning Hardy Boyz made their triumphant return.

Subsequently reduced to jobbers on the flagship show, the pair could at least take solace in being used as vital components for the betterment of their colleagues in need of a similar lift. The WWE midcard is the cluttered clusterf**k its always been, but it's a better place for the selflessness of the former Bullet Club pair. The man winning every weak didn't need their kindness. The man not even turning up every week certainly didn't.

Gallows and Anderson were once so over that 'Beat Up John Cena' was a catchphrase worthy of a t-shirt. Nothing from their last dance with 'The Champ' had the chance of making it to Hot Topic.
