John Cena On Why He Didn’t Put The Nexus Over in 2010

– During the ‘An Evening with John Cena’ Q&A that took place earlier this summer (via wrestlinginc.com), John Cena was asked about why he didn’t put over the Nexus at Summerslam 2010. On that show, The Nexus battled Cena. Daniel Bryan, Edge, Chris Jericho, Bret Hart, R-Truth and John Morrison in an elimination match on the show. Chris Jericho and Edge have stated that the original plan was for the Nexus to win the match, with Barrett going over and have claimed that Cena changed the finish and was the sole survivor. Here is what Cena had to say about the match…

“This has been a topic of debate amongst really hardcore WWE fans for quite some time because it is their sentiment that I should have lost that match.did I win that match? Because that is what we did. It’s difficult for me to blur the lines on this… but I show up to work and do what I’m told. I will give you the gratification of this: I don’t pick how the story is told, I get told that. But I do pick what goes on in the story. In that particular moment, it was too much. I think if presented in another way, it could have been a little more palatable. But I can’t change the television show, I’ve never had that power and that’s something I don’t do. If you look at a laundry list of my opponents, you can tell that it’s exactly how I operate. I guessed wrong on the way that the story was told, and I guess that’s why people are so up-in-arms about it. But we tell so many stories. I was wrong once.”
