“He’d Be Number Two”: WWE Veteran Claims John Cena’s Unwillingness to Play Second Fiddle to Roman Reigns Keeps Him From Aligning With The Bloodline

Due to the WGA strike in Hollywood, John Cena was compelled to dedicate more time towards his wrestling interest. His comeback made many wrestling fans happy, but The Bloodline? Not so much. After defeating The Bloodline members at Fastlane, he shifted his focus to help out Carmelo Hayes when one WWE veteran interfered again.

During an interview before Carmelo Hayes vs. Bron Breakker match, this veteran talked about Cena’s intervention in their affairs. He also explained why despite being one of the GOATs, Cena would never align with The Bloodline.

Paul Heyman does not acknowledge John Cena as GOAT

Paul Heyman worships his Tribal Chief as an honest follower and considers him as the greatest wrestler in the business. Despite being a 16-time World Champion, Heyman believes that Cena is behind Roman Reigns in the GOAT list.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Paul Heyman also gave reasons why Cena would never join The Bloodline. Heyman said, “Besides that, he is a highly intelligent and savvy self-promoter. Cena could never accept that, in The Bloodline, he’d be number two behind Roman Reigns.” Heyman believes that Cena considers himself to be at the top. Heyman further stated that within The Bloodline, Cena would probably be the least important member.

The Wiseman further gave more reasons as to why Cena would never align with The Bloodline. Being the top babyface in the last two decades, Cena’s consciousness would never allow him to compromise to become a part of The Bloodline. Heyman said, “John Cena is so comfortable in his righteousness that he could never live with himself knowing the compromise of conscience that would be necessary to be a full-fledged member of The Bloodline.”

John Cena and LA Knight in upcoming feuds at Crown Jewel

While Roman Reigns made his pre-announced return from a 2-month break, he was welcomed by John Cena and the Tulsa crowd but not LA Knight. Cena was more than happy to announce the next challenger for Roman Reigns while staying behind.

As WWE prepares for Knight vs. Reigns match at Crown Jewel, rumors are that Cena might feud against Solo Sikoa at the upcoming PLE. Though the matches are yet to be made official by WWE.

What do you think about Heyman’s thoughts on Cena? Are they justified or are they being made just to poke fun at the 16x World Champion?
