John Cena Reveals Why WWE Superstars Called Him A “Traitor”

John Cena was the face of the WWE for over a decade, but nowadays Cena appearances on WWE programming are few and far between.

When Cena was first making his way up the card in WWE he made a name for himself on SmackDown, and he first captured the WWE Championship as a member of the SmackDown roster.

However, in 2005 he was drafted to Monday Night Raw and he recently revealed to Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast that the SmackDown roster was not happy about him jumping ship.

“They were all playing mini golf and I’m like, ‘I can’t make it today, I’m gonna work out.’ I’m in St. Louis getting drafted to RAW. When I came out, every one of them… I was watching my phone, [it] blew up. ‘Traitor!’… ‘Benedict Arnold!’ … you name it, everybody was so p****d because we genuinely had put our heart and soul into making the brand better than RAW.”

Cena had a very successful run on Raw where he was the face of the brand for years.

He’s currently set to face a SmackDown Superstar this weekend when he goes one on one with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 36.
