5 Interesting backstage stories about John Cena you need to know

#2 Backstage fight with Carlito

Carlito and John Cena!

Carlito is one of those talents who were once considered to be destined for a big main event career but somehow couldn't accomplish that success. One of his best and noteworthy rivalries was against John Cena. Interestingly, the two got into a backstage fight with each other. Carlito had the following to say about it during his appearance on MLW's Konnan Show:

"I actually had a fight with Cena. I forget where it was, but we got into a fight. A drunken fist fight. He told me I wasn't applying myself. He said I should be at a higher level. I didn't punch him because I'm not going to punch the face of the company. It was more like a drunken fight. I don't think we were out to hurt each other. I was just defending myself, but Cena, he's strong as hell."

"He jumped at me first. They ended up separating us about three times. I felt like he and I had always been close. I think he just wanted to see me do better. Cena is one of those guys that's a top guy, but he wants to see other guys. He doesn't try to hold guys down, he wants to see them come up."

There were rumors last year about WWE trying to bring Carlito back but that didn't happen. Only time will tell whether we'll see the former United States Champion back in the company or not.
