On the latest installment of his Conversation With The Big Guy podcast, former WWE Superstar Ryback went off on John Cena, calling him a “piece of sh*t” and “poison” to the wrestling business.

“He’s been a piece of sh*t to me since Day One. I was nothing but nice and respectful to him and I know Alex Riley just came out and [admitted he had issues with Cena] and when people hear what really happened with that, they’re going to lose their sh-t. Like, and I know, I have a pretty good idea of what happened with that and the guys in WWE. And, one, it’s f-cking hilarious. And, two, it’s hilarious what people will find out about John.”

Ryback says Cena would regularly bury him and Alex Riley when they were in the ring and blames Cena for ruining Alex Riley’s WWE career.

“Because of John Cena and I swear to God, I swear to f–king God, because of John Cena, his career is over in the WWE for no f–king reason outside of John and his personal issues. Unbelievable.”

Despite his contributions to the wrestling business, Ryback considers John Cena a “poison” that holds people back if he deems them to be a threat. He went so far as to claim Triple H might be using NXT as a way to shield up and coming talent from John Cena’s influence.

“He has been poison to the wrestling industry. I told [co-host Pat Buck] this before. We talked about this before. And again, this is my opinion, but I think I’m pretty accurate on this is I think he’s done so much harm for so long to new talent to getting over, breaking out, over there.
