#4. John Cena accused a former WWE Superstar of stealing his move
Michael Morales Torres of Lucha Libre Online interviewed Mike Bennett recently. The former WWE Superstar recalled an incident when he was given a stern warning backstage by John Cena.
Mike Bennett appeared for WWE in 2007 on the company's Sunday Night Heat show in a tag team match against Cryme Tyme.
One spot in the match looked very similar to John Cena's "You can't see me" taunt. Unfortunately for Bennett, an unidentified person alerted the Cenation leader.
"We were wrestling Cryme Tyme... I remember calling this spot with JTG, and at the time, he had gold teeth in that he would put in and call it a grill. So every time he did like a move, he would he would take his fingers like this and kind of show his grill. And so we came up with this idea, or he came up with this idea that I would do this spot [mimicking teeth grinding] and I would get up over on him, and then I would mimic him."
Mike Bennett revealed that John Cena confronted him after the match. The 16-time WWE Champion told Bennett that he could not use the move in any shape or form. Bennett added that the message was put across to him in a hostile manner.
"Unfortunately, what happened was, this ended up looking too close to this ["You can't see me" taunt]... I think someone told Mr. Cena that I had gone out there and I had done this ["You can't see me" taunt] on Sunday Night Heat. So when I got to the back, on my very first match, John Cena was there to inform me that I should not be doing this (taunt) in any way, shape, or form. It was put to me not so nicely."
Bennett also added that he had pleasant interactions with John Cena after returning to WWE several years later.
"When I went back to WWE, I never got to tell him that story which I wanted to. I actually really enjoyed seeing him when I went back. He was a very down-to-earth and a very cool guy. I really enjoyed interacting with him. He was super helpful with everything."
Milke Bennett and his wife Maria Kanellis were released from the WWE in April last year, and the couple currently competes in Ring of Honor.
