Michael Tarver has since stated multiple times that John Cena had a beef with him. Tarver went on to say that Cena was threatened by the talent he possessed and purposefully fractured Tarver's arm during a WWE PPV.

#4 JBL vs The Blue Meanie
Meanie was bloodied by JBL at One Night Stand 2005
The Blue Meanie was one of the ECW originals, and a part of the group named "Blue World Order", a mockery of WCW's 'New World Order'. During the ECW One Night Stand PPV, the WWE and ECW wrestlers engaged in a chaotic fight at the end.

Meanie had been stating in interviews that JBL was a backstage bully and this didn't sit well with the former WWE champion. JBL decided to legitimately hurt Meanie during the chaos. Later, The Blue Meanie was offered a WWE contract for a brief run and he decided not to sue JBL.
Meanie, however, had the last laugh when he defeated JBL in a no disqualification match with assistance from fellow B.W.O member Steven Richards.

To put things in perspective, JBL has been known as a legitimate bully in the WWE locker room. Superstars both past and present have criticized the former acolyte for his brash mannerisms.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
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.
