In a shocking turn of events, David Otunga recently came forward with claims that John Cena allegedly bullied him during his time in the WWE. However, the wrestling world was quick to respond, with Booker T being one of the first high-profile figures to speak out and roast Otunga’s allegations.
A 15-Year Delay in Speaking Out
According to sources close to David Otunga, he had been planning to speak out about the alleged bullying for over a decade. However, it wasn’t until recently that he finally decided to share his story with the public. While Otunga may have been attempting to shed light on the issue, his delayed response has done little to garner sympathy from the WWE community.
Booker T’s Blunt Response
Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer and former multiple-time champion, wasted no time in firing back at Otunga’s allegations. In an exclusive interview with Ringside News, Booker T expressed his disappointment with Otunga’s delayed response, stating that he should have spoken out sooner if he truly believed he was being bullied.
“I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact that David Otunga waited 15 years to speak out or the fact that he thinks John Cena is responsible for his career woes,” Booker T said with a chuckle. “Let me tell you something, brother. If John Cena was bullying David Otunga, then I’m the King of England. Newsflash, David: John Cena was one of the biggest stars in the WWE at the time, and if you couldn’t handle the heat, then maybe you shouldn’t have stepped into the kitchen.”
Booker T’s comments highlight the skepticism that many in the WWE community have towards Otunga’s allegations. While Cena has been known to be a demanding performer, it’s hard to believe that he would engage in bullying behavior, especially considering his reputation as a top-tier talent.
A Look Back at the Cena-Otunga Feud
While David Otunga’s claims of bullying may have come as a shock to some, it’s worth noting that he and John Cena have a long and tumultuous history in the WWE. The two men engaged in a highly publicized feud in 2009, with Otunga emerging victorious on several occasions. However, their rivalry was short-lived, and both men have since moved on to other pursuits.
The Impact on the WWE Community
Booker T’s comments have sparked a heated debate within the WWE community, with many wrestlers weighing in on the issue. According to a WWE insider, there is a growing sense of frustration among the locker room regarding Otunga’s delayed response and the potential impact it may have on the WWE’s reputation.
“Look, we all know that John Cena can be a demanding performer, but bullying is a serious issue that should never be taken lightly,” the insider said. “However, if David Otunga is telling the truth, then why did he wait 15 years to speak out? It’s like he was trying to get attention or revive his career. Either way, it’s not helping the WWE’s image, and that’s what really matters here.”
Conclusion
David Otunga’s allegations of bullying against John Cena have sparked a heated debate within the WWE community. While Booker T’s blunt response may have been unapologetic, it highlights the skepticism that many in the locker room have towards Otunga’s claims. As the WWE continues to navigate this controversy, one thing is clear: the truth will come to light, and the consequences will be far-reaching.
In the meantime, the WWE will have to navigate the potential fallout from Otunga’s allegations. With tensions running high and the community divided, it’s anyone’s guess what the future holds for the WWE. One thing is certain, however: this is a story that will continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.
