#3 Former WWE Superstar Tyler Reks opened up about a backstage altercation with John Cena

John Cena

Former WWE Superstar Tyler Reks was recently interviewed by The Hannibal TV on YouTube. During the interview, Reks was asked about his issues with WWE legend John Cena. Reks told a story of his backstage altercation with John Cena and how Cena lost his cool backstage and told him to stop using his finishing move at the time, a Burning Hammer:

So, long story short, I'm using this for six months in front of Cena, literally in front of him and I get drafted to RAW and first week on the road we're doing a house show and I'm working Primo. It was me over, so I hit the Burning Hammer for the finisher. We're like third out, killer match. I go for the Burning Hammer and something happens in the process, Primo had never taken it, and he kind of went over sideways, looked kind of cra***.

I can see where it might have kind of infringed on Cena's FU a little bit so I come back through the curtain, thinking nothing of it, come back through the curtain and all the boys are there. Cena looks up, he's like 'Hey man, we're gonna have to get you a new finisher' and I was like 'sorry man, we'll get it right, we kind of screwed it up tonight and we'll get it right tomorrow. So I'm thinking that he's joking and given what I said, ' hey we'll get it right tomorrow, we kind of screwed it up, we'll be better', knowing that I did it in front of him many many times, he knows exactly what it is, next day we go to the next show and Primo's like 'Hey, should we change it?' and I said 'John Cena's saw me do it a million times, I think he was just saying get it right so it doesn't look like his FU'.

So we go out there and I hit it, hit it perfect, like sweet. Crowd goes..wild..whatever you want to call it. I walk back and he's there, like second I was back through the curtain. Within earshot of everybody on the roster, he's like, 'Hey, come here' and I go, 'hey, what's up,bro?' and he goes like 'Didn't I tell you to change your ****ing finisher?'. H/T: Sportskeeda

Tyler Reks went on to say that Cena followed this by continuing to belittle him. He said that all this happened in full view of everyone present backstage and made him consider quitting WWE.
