5 WWE Superstars who were accused of being unsafe in the ring

#1 John Cena

John Cena was one of the most polarizing figures in WWE, back when he was wrestling on a regular basis. Over the years, fans have grown to love him and respect him for his immense contributions to the business. Cena's peers in the company, as well as most of WWE's former Superstars, have nothing but respect for him. There are a few guys though, who aren't big fans of Cena. Former Nexus member Michael Tarver is one of them.

A long time ago, Tarver accused Cena of injuring him and laughing about the same backstage. Later, he opened up on his comments and accused Cena of being reckless in the ring.

"I wasn't accusing him of doing it on purpose, he was being reckless and took liberties, but he didn't pick up a chair to fracture my arm. It happened because he wasn't careful. Outside of that, it was business, we weren't great friends."

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.
