For a long time, a small group of WWE fans despised John Cena because he was always winning and never put anyone over.

This led to a feeling that Cena went out of his way to bury talent, particularly up-and-coming superstars who may have benefited from beating the promotion’s biggest star.

There were some questionable booking decisions made by Cena during his tenure, but that doesn’t always indicate he was in command.

Vince McMahon was the one who put Cena on top and ensured that no one else could compete with him. SummerSlam 2010 was one of the most severe examples of McMahon’s determination to promote Cena at the expense of others.

The main event of that evening was a seven-on-seven knockout tag match between the Nexus gang and a group of mostly new WWE superstars trying to build their identities. Cena’s squad won with him as the single survivor, defeating Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett.

Barrett and Gabriel had great periods in WWE, but they never rose above the mid-card level. Beating Cena on that program wouldn’t have secured them a spot on the main stage, but it wouldn’t have hurt.

Whatever someone thinks of Cena’s reign, it was a lot better than Triple H being granted the world heavyweight belt without having to do anything.

Cena has knocked people out throughout his career. At WrestleMania, the 16-time global champion was defeated by Austin Theory. He had noteworthy defeats to Kevin Owens, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and Daniel Bryan when they needed to win.

WWE’s promos were notoriously bad for a long time. They were nothing more than cheesy catchphrases and cheap gags that appeared to be intended to make Vince McMahon laugh but were generally not amusing to anyone else.

It’s indisputable that things improved substantially after Triple H was designated chief creative officer. Some of the old promotions still make their way through, especially since McMahon returned to the organization, but things are still mostly positive.

It is wise to let the superstars, who undoubtedly put a lot of time and effort into their personas, say things that sound good for them and indicate the direction in which a conflict will take place. Instead of everyone sounding the same due to one group of authors writing everything, it makes it much simpler for people to get invested in what is happening.
