John Cena has had a Hall of Fame career. He is a 16 time World Champion and has had many classic matches. A feud with Cena is the standard used to prove if wrestlers are ready to move up to the main event.

He has helped guys like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, A.J Styles and Kevin Owens reach the next level as top stars. However, there has been one incident of John Cena hurting the careers of wrestlers.

The Nexus was a heel group who wreaked havoc on Monday Night RAW in 2010.The group consisted of the rising stars of NXT season one. They would attack past and present stars of the WWE and they looked set to become the future of the company. The whole angle led to a match at Summerslam 2010 where John Cena captained a team of past and present stars against The Nexus.

The Nexus were booked to win and this was to be their coronation as major stars. Chris Jericho and Edge have said on their podcasts that Cena was certain that he should win the match.

Despite arguments from Cena's teammates he managed to win. Cena came from behind during the match and was the sole survivor. The Nexus lost all momentum and were a dead act by the end of the year.
