A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

AJ Styles has repeatedly proven that he is Phenomenal not only in the ring but on the mic as well. His heel promo against John Cena (Cena is never the heel anymore, right?) was not only accurate but made one wonder as to why AJ Styles was representing the dark side for this one.

It was a simple statement that made this promo stand out "Guys like you bury guys like me". It might not be the boldest of words but every word of it has been touted as the truth by the WWE Universe itself. John Cena has the infamous reputation of not putting over new talent and adjusting WWE bookings to suit his needs.

Whether that is true or not, historically there have been a lot of instances where Cena did, in fact, bury guys like AJ Styles. The Nexus is a prime example of this. At one point of time, Nexus was the hottest thing in the WWE. That is until they ran up against John Cena. Against popular advice, Cena decided to defeat the Nexus almost single-handedly and bury them in so deep that most of them have not recovered yet. The only Nexus guy to make it really big was the one who left i.e. Daniel Bryan.

So all in all, Aj Styles fears were not ungrounded and it was a classic example of times when heels were right.
