5 Biggest threats Vince McMahon received from WWE Superstars

#1 John Cena threatens to go to TNA

At Money In The Bank 2011, John Cena lost the WWE title to CM Punk despite Vince McMahon doing everything he could to prevent that from happening. Punk left the company with the WWE title, and the WWE Chairman was not happy at how things had turned out. Vince took the stage soon after, on an episode of RAW, and hinted that he was about to fire Cena in a few minutes. The former WWE Champion came out to a mixed reaction from the live crowd and made it clear that he wasn't going to berate Vince for what he was about to do.

Cena said that he knew Vince was going to find someone else to take on The Rock at WrestleMania 28 if he fired him. He then stated that if Vince fires him, he will go to TNA (now IMPACT Wrestling).

WWE doesn't want these wrestlers back - Find out now!

If you make me walk tonight, then I'm gonna walk on someone else's show and keep doing this, brother.

Cena's statement was a reference to a popular catchphrase of none other than WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, who was with TNA at the time. The promo received a huge pop from the crowd. As Vince McMahon was about to fire Cena, Triple H came out and went on to relieve Vince of his duties.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
