In a recent appearance on the popular podcast “Pancakes and Powerslams,” former WWE superstar Tyler Reks openly discusses some of WWE’s most powerful men. During the interview between Reks and host Chris Featherstone, Reks blatantly calls John Cena “a prick” and claims Sheamus and John Laurinaitis do not care about anyone but themselves.
When speaking about former Executive of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis, Reks says,
“If you’re not on the radar, he doesn’t care about you. I got belittled by him quite a bit. When I came back as T. Reks, that was Vince. Next thing you know, I was Johnny’s best friend. And when all that ended, he wouldn’t give me the time of day. He is not a nice person. He is all strictly business.”
Reks then goes on to reveal that former WWE Champion Sheamus has let the business corrupt his ability to care about others as well.
“Was nice in the beginning, them I realized that he steps on heads and suddenly isn’t your friend anymore. He only does what’s good for Sheamus.”
The comment of the show however comes at the expense of the biggest name in WWE, John Cena. Reks gives Cena credit on his work ethic, but then slams his character outside of the ring, saying,
“He’s a workhorse. He does incredible things for the company and he busts his butt. Outside the ring, I can’t stand the guy. He’s not a nice guy, he holds talent down. He steals ideas. He’s a prick.”
Reks does have nice things to say about WWE COO Triple H. When describing “The Game,” Reks says that Triple H is a,
“Nice guy. He’s got everything dialed in for the company and he’s taking it in the right direction. Definitely into helping his talent.”
