5 Superstars who were bullied before making it big in WWE 

#1 John Cena

Cena is one of wrestling's biggest ever stars and a sure-fire future Hall of Famer.

John Cena. Some love him, some hate him, but there's no denying the 16-time World Champion's truly incredible success. Winning his first WWE championship in 2005, Cena has since become one of wrestling's biggest stars, with his name carrying similar weight to Hulk Hogan, The Rock and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Before all of this though, Cena was bullied during his youth, as he explained to the Huffington Post:

"I really never socially matched that well with kids as an adolescent or early teenager," he said. "Never once did I waver or try to conform like a group philosophy."

Cena has overcome all of this negativity though and has since become one of wrestling's biggest stars. Though he still receives negativity by some fans on social media, Big Match John has personified 'Rise Above Hate'.
