Former WWE Superstar details why John Cena always got 'violently ill' on tours
Former WWE Superstar Rene Dupree recently reflected on his tours with the company and disclosed why John Cena regularly fell sick on the road.

"A guy that got food poisoning a lot was John Cena. The fact that he always ate so clean that anytime he'd have like some sort of undercooked meat or some type of weird spice he would get like violently ill, like food poisoning," Dupree said. (0:40 - 0:58)
