The Cena curse is something that many wrestlers have unfortunately been on the receiving end of. Ryback is a more recent example of a man whose monster push was derailed when he clashed with Cena. He was on the verge of becoming one of the next big things in wrestling he had the look, the in-ring ability and his promo skills didnt matter too much when the gimmick he had only relied on him to say the same three words over and over again. Unfortunately, a heel turn and a lifeless program with Cena that he was never going to win ended what was a promising run and the Big Guy was left with a terrible bully gimmick before being paired with Curtis Axel in a going nowhere tag team. This is not entirely Cenas fault, the majority of the blame has to come down on the shoulders of Vince McMahon and WWE creative. However, when people look back on those failures theyll point the finger at Cena and say he could have done more; even Bray Wyatts momentum seemed to take a hit after his WrestleMania and Payback defeats to Cena. Creative try far too hard to protect Cena from looking weak, but the fact is a strong clean victory over Cena can do wonders for any career just look at Daniel Bryan and the demolition that was Cenas SummerSlam match with Brock Lesnar. There are a huge number of wrestlers who have fallen to this curse, but none so much than the wrestlers in the next slide.
