Current WWE personality Wade Barrett discussed his loss to John Cena in the past
Wade Barrett is currently working as a commentator in WWE. However, he first broke onto the scene as the leader of the Nexus faction.
The group took the main roster by storm over a decade ago and set their sights on John Cena, who was the de facto top guy in the company. Unfortunately, at SummerSlam 2010, Barrett's faction suffered a massive loss to Team Cena.
Speaking on the Out of Character podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion addressed the losses his team took. He said:
"Lets face it we didn’t win many matches did we, unfortunately, which is one of the biggest crimes in the history of professional wrestling. I’m sure most people would agree with me on that one."
On this day, 8 years ago at the Hell in a Cell PPV, John Cena defeated Randy Orton to become the #1 contender for the #WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose in the main event of the show.

Cena is currently busy with his career in Hollywood and his ventures outside of professional wrestling. It remains to be seen if he will return to in-ring competition, especially given that WrestleMania 39 is in Hollywood in 2023.
