Former ECW World Champion accuses current WWE Champion John Cena of getting other Superstars fired | WWE News - Times of India
Rob Van Dam makes a serious allegation against John Cena. The WWE legend accused the Undisputed World Champion of getting former WWE stars fired. John Cena pulled off a parody of CM Punk’s Pipebomb recently.
The Cenation leader name-dropped wrestlers who were previously a part of WWE.
The name-dropped wrestlers were Matt Cardona, Nic Nemeth, and Claudio Castagnoli. Rob, in a recent podcast, alleges the Champ of getting these wrestlers fired in the first place.
In the recent episode of 1 of a Kind with RVD, the host made some serious allegations. The legend had a very different perspective on John Cena’s name-drop. Fans after the Pipebomb believed that the callouts were cues to possible WWE returns of the wrestlers.
However, Rob Van Dam believes that John Cena himself got these names fired. During the podcast, the Legend stated, “Maybe those were guys that Cena got fired from WWE.

Matt Cardona, on the other hand, responded to the name-drop in a light-hearted way. The wrestler replied to the Champ’s callout during a GCW event. Cardona sat on a turnbuckle, took a mic, looked at the camera and said ‘Hi’. It was directed at the Cenation Leader.
Rob Van Dam shared a brief rivalry with John Cena. It was reflected in the 2006 ECW One Night Stand event. Cena faced a hostile crowd that night during the match. Rob even showed interest in reliving the rivalry before the Champ retires from the sport. The Champ even reflected on the iconic rivalry in one of his recent interviews.
