"The other guys in the match weren’t happy about that. And if I’m being honest, I think John probably knows that wasn’t the right idea. I mean, maybe obviously, at the time, he thought that was the right call, but in retrospect, I don’t even think he would agree that that was the right thing to do.” said Otunga, regarding the burial of the Nexus.
The Nexus was one of the biggest attractions of its time, and it could have become a huge deal if it had not been buried. John Cena previously talked about the accusation, and he even explained that he was not satisfied working in this storyline. Much like most of the top stars, Cena also had a lot of accusations by his name, the burial of the Nexus being one of the biggest ones.
