John Cena is without a doubt one of the most successful wrestlers of all time and for many years he was the face of WWE.
For years Cena and Nikki Bella were also a pro wrestling power couple, and at the height of their relationship Nikki received a considerable push and a lengthy title reign.
Fans have wondered if John Cena may have used his backstage influence to get Nikki a push, and Jim Ross addressed the speculation on a recent episode of Grilling JR.
“If I had a girlfriend that looked like Nikki Bella, would I push for her to get her a better gig or more exposure? Hell yeah! You crazy? Of course I would. It’s gonna be Vince’s call at the end of the day but bottomline, I never saw her in a position, and her sister, that they didn’t fit. They weren’t skilled wrestlers, they weren’t Jackie Moore or Becky Lynch or Charlotte, they were attractions.”
Ross also addressed whether or not Cena used his power in a negative way.
“I don’t think John ever used his influence in a negative way to help somebody that didn’t deserve the help. Did he help some people? Hell yeah! But I think they all deserved the opportunity to get recognized, and all he did was say, hey, I think we could do some business with this person, or you could do some business with this person, and his opinion counted, so he utilized it, nothing wrong with that.”
