In a new YouTube video, former WWE star David Otunga finally addressed what he described as a moment that changed the way he viewed both John Cena and the company itself. After keeping quiet for 15 years, Otunga revisited an incident from a 2010 WWE European tour , an experience he says left a lasting mark on his career.
“This next story I have waited 15 years to tell.”
“And boy, Cena is pissed,” Otunga recalled. From that point on, he said Cena began stiffing him, berating him, and shouting insults mid-match , telling him he was terrible, lived in a fantasy world, and would be sent back to FCW once the tour ended. All of this, Otunga said, took place in full view of the arena, with Evan Bourne allegedly snickering across the ring while Wade Barrett remained quiet.
“Man, that’s messed up. He should never talk to anybody like that,” Goldust reportedly told him. He even said he planned to speak to Cena about it. When Otunga explained the complaint was about the rope spot, Goldust’s confusion only grew, because he believed Cena was the one who mistimed the sequence. They later reviewed footage together, and Otunga said the tape confirmed exactly that.
“I’m telling you right now , if John Cena had put his hands on me backstage, I would have beaten the dogsh*t out of John Cena, and fast.”
“I have never seen anybody do that,” he said. “And up until then, I had never seen John Cena blow up on anybody like that. In fact, I’d never seen anybody blow up on someone like that for anything.”
