11 Popular WWE Stars John Cena Has Tried To 'Steal' Heat From

11. AJ Lee

Although lately she seems to be known more for being married to erstwhile WWE wrestler CM Punk, AJ Lee was one of WWE€™s biggest stars in 2012, dominating screen time on Raw. She even served as the red brand€™s general manager for a time. AJ also was romantically linked with numerous members of the roster, including John Cena. Unlike several of the other male suitors €“ Daniel Bryan, Punk, Kane and later Dolph Ziggler €“ Cena€™s tryst with AJ was cast as a scandal, with Vickie Guerrero showing video and photos of the two having dinner and going into the same hotel room. It stretched out for weeks, with Cena€™s personal life being caught up in the AJ-Vickie struggle. Things escalated beyond speculation when AJ and Cena hooked up in the middle of the ring and started a mini-relationship. No doubt AJ€™s popularity was viewed as a good reason to pair her with the stoic Cena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOz81KKm1us The pairing ended almost as quickly as it started, with AJ screwing over Cena in a match, thus leaving our hero dejected and without a woman.
