Current AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm was seemingly bullied because of being a John Cena fan. Cena is one of the biggest names in the history of pro wrestling, and many top wrestlers have admitted that they were once fans of Cena. The 17-time world champion is currently on his farewell tour, as he will retire from wrestling at the end of this year.

On the other hand, Toni Storm is one of the top women's wrestlers in the world right now and is currently holding the AEW Women's World Title as well. Toni also admitted to being a Cena fan when she was in school.

WWE's huge mistake with John Cena revealed - Watch Here!

"I got bullied for wearing a John Cena T-shirt so much. Got bullied so hard for hustle, loyalty and respect. No, people would mock it. I remember walking past a kid in the street and he went, 'Oh, John Cena,' and like mocked the thing [doing you can't see me gesture] at me."

John Cena is slated for a big match this Saturday

After Cena lost his Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025, Brock Lesnar made his shocking return and took out Cena with an F-5. On SmackDown in Chicago, Lesnar gave an F-5 to Cena yet again to make things more personal.

Later, the match between Brock Lesnar and Cena was made official for the Wrestlepalooza PLE, which will be taking place this Saturday.

There has been a lot of history between Cena and Lesnar, and this Saturday will probably be the last time the two wrestle each other. It remains to be seen if The Leader of the Cenation manages to neutralize The Beast Incarnate at Wrestlepalooza.
