Cena didn't want the WWE to sign AJ Styles

[Geese]

John Cena was against WWE signing TNA talent AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, and James Storm. Arn had a conversation with Cena where he felt the show was getting "stale" and wanted to sign these guys to "freshen" up the roster. During that time, Cena was hot and had backstage pull. Cena said we don't need those guys because WWE cultivates its own talent.

Fair enough I suppose

Thats funny since AJ Styles would go on to beat Cena clean.

Also HA, they cultivate their own talent? then why si their roster filled so the same people they have had for years? there was only 2 people in the mens rumble who were under 30. Otis and Dominik Mystero.

They dont have any fresh talent, thats why we keep getting KO and roman again and again despite KO losing to roman 3 times now. and why of all people MIZ has money in the bank.

NXT used to be where they did for a time cultivate new talent, now its just the third brand.

Well, thankfully Cena didn't get his way. AJ Styles in WWE has been one of the best things the company has had going for him since the moment he came out in the Rumble.

That's why he's a wrestler and actor, not an executive.

He should've been there years before he was signed though... same goes for Joe

Really wish they would've signed Joe sooner.

Then when AJ enters the locker room Cena all like

"Hey kid, been waiting along time for you to get here"
