John Cena is possibly one of the most decorated stars in WWE's story. However, the world champion 16 times has been frequently criticized for being too promoted by the promotion of wrestling.
In one of his most infamous rivalries, The Cenation Leader defeated one of the most promising factions, The Nexus. The Heel Group, composed of NXT ex -stars, took the main roster before they suffered their first great defeat at the hands of the Team WWE led by John Cena in a team fight seven against seven in Summerslam 2010. The ex -maniembro of Nexus Heath Slater recently spoke about the controversial loss.
In a recent conversation with Kenny Mcintosh for number 55 of Inside The Ropes MagazineSlater said it was great to be in the show. However, he added that the defeat was disappointing. The former WWE 24/7 champion said they were initially scheduled to win the fight before a last minute change was made.
“It was incredible to be part of Summerslam, be in the star event and be part of such a big story.” Slater added, “the result was a my $%gives. Because first, when we got there, we were reviewing the end of the fight, and we were going to win. So we were like, oh shit, we will take control. Literally, it was like an hour after the doors opened, maybe, everything changed. We were no longer going to win, we were going to lose, and we were all like that (would we lose)? “
Heath Slater said that Nexus winning the fight would have made perfect sense. However, John Cena “defending himself” could have sealed the treatment at the end.
“You would think that they would let us put WWe in danger, move on. We knew, everything changed, ”he added.
Heath Slater believes that Nexus never recovered from his defeat against Team John Cena at Summerslam
Later, in the same interview with Kenny Mcintosh for number 55 of Inside The Ropes MagazineHeath Slater said that John Cena ensuring the victory in The Biggest Party of the Summer against every prognosis weakened The Nexus to a point beyond recovery.
“I understand that you want to be Superman, but this story is great and is now diluted and contaminated to the point that it is not credible. We could not recover the impulse after Summerslam,” he said.
Heath Slater was released from his contract with WWE in April 2020. After his departure from the company, former SmackDown team champion returned to the independent circuit before signing with TNA in July 2020. However, he left the promotion three years later.
