Wrestling veteran slams female WWE legend who once dated John Cena
John Cena, a 16-time World Champion, is undoubtedly one of the greatest WWE superstars in history.
The Cenation leader was romantically involved with former women's champion Nikki Bella for almost six years. However, the couple separated in 2018 when many expected the two to tie the knot.
The Bella Twins recently slammed the Stamford-based company for not featuring women adequately and for omitting names like Sasha Banks and Saraya on RAW's 30th-anniversary show. It garnered a lot of attention, with a number of fans agreeing with the Bella Twins.
On the Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru podcast, the wrestling legend weighed in on the story. He felt that while women could have been featured better on RAW XXX, the Bella Twins were unlikely to get featured anyway, as they did not have great matches or moments. He also brought up the Bellas' relationship history.
"But yeah, so it's the messengers, not the the message. They could have showed more of the women, but would the Bellas still have been a part of anything great? What were the Bellas part of that was great? [Brian Last notes The Bellas' dating history with Bryan Danielson and John Cena] What was the line, talent is not s**ually transmitted. That was an AJ Lee clip, right? They could have played that clip. They could have f*****g aired that," Jim Cornette said. [3:40 - 4:20]
