Bully Ray Defends John Cena Over Criticism He Buried Talent In WWE

Over the course of his career, John Cena has been criticized for “burying” talent in WWE. Bully Ray is now pushing back on that narrative.

During a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” The Dudley Boyz member opined on Cena’s reputation among fans and some of his peers for burying talent.

Additionally, Ray recalled the time Cena backed The Dudleys over a “Whazzup” spot in a six-man tag team match.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Cena’s reputation for burying talent: “Sometimes when you’re at a level of a John Cena, just like [when] you’re at a level of a Hulk Hogan, you have a different feel, a different perspective of things. And you just know if something is right or something is not. Hulk was considered back in the day difficult to do business with. He was protecting the business and I think John does that also.”

On Cena backing the Dudleys over the spot: “John blatantly comes to me and D-Von in gorilla right before we go out. ‘Do the spot, do it right in the middle of the ring, and when they want to know why, don’t worry. I’ll take all the heat for it.’ John has considerably less time in the business than me and D-Von had, but obviously at that moment in time, a much higher star on the card who has Vince’s ear… [He was] saying man to man, eye to eye, ‘I got you.’”
