24-year-old WWE star wants to retire John Cena: ‘Screwed my fatherâ€s careerâ€

A budding 24-year-old WWE star wants to finish John Cena’s because of a personal vendetta.

Earlier tonight, on the November 1st edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE announced the ‘Last Time is Now’ tournament to secure John Cena’s final opponent. Soon after the announcement, 24-year-old NXT star Brooks Jensen expressed his interest to face the legend in his farewell bout.

However, Jensenâ€s motivation wasnâ€t just about opportunity, it was a long-held personal grudge and vendetta. Explaining his situation on social media, the youngster wrote, “Itâ€s been 22 years since John Cena screwed my fathers career over… maybe my time is now.”

Jensen is the son of former WWE star Bull Buchanan, who acted as Cena’s hypeman named ‘B²’ during his Doctor of Thuganomics run on SmackDown in 2003. However, not long after, Cena turned his back on Buchanan. While the Leader of Cenation became one of the most popular stars in the industry, Buchanan was soon sent back to OVW and later released.

Looking to avenge his father’s humiliation, Jensen publicly teased going after Cena while dropping several other crypic posts about his father’s partnership with the 17-time World Champion.
