5 top superstars who buried the WWE locker room

Enter

#3. John Cena

The 16-time World Champion recalls when some of WWE’s top stars left WWE, and Cena vowed to Mr. McMahon that he would not let him down if he gave him a chance.

That's right. The former locker room leader and the leader of the Cenation John Cena did not hold back when going off on the locker room. Granted, he was a lot nicer about it than Drew McIntyre was, but even then, it wasn't exactly pleasant coming from the franchise player. In an interview, he said:

The amount of complacency is staggering. I mean, these guys are all so gifted and there’s never been a better time, ever, to make a name for yourself in WWE. With all of the platforms that we have, with Raw, with SmackDown, with NXT, we’re increasing our number of pay-per-views, we’re throwing so much content at the Network it’s obscene.
I think nowadays we have the reverse where the Superstars are in such a ‘well, I’m just going to wait to see what they have for me’ when that’s not what it is. I totally agree with that. You get a rough outline, you get such a basic character sketch, and you get all this freedom to make it your own, and I’m not just blowing smoke.

It must be noted that Cena isn't fully wrong about this. He does belong to a time where superstars would truly step up to the plate and take their opportunities.
