Jeff Teague doesn’t want John Cena to win Royal Rumble

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague made it very clear who he doesn’t want to see win the Royal Rumble tonight.

Fans of Jeff Teague and the Atlanta Hawks are enjoying every bit of this 2014-15 regular season. The team is proving that the “team game” in the NBA is back as they’ve put up a league best 36 wins thus far.

Fan though need to realize stars like Teague have their fandoms as well.

Apparently, the man who leads the Hawks in scoring, with 17.2 per game, is a WWE fan and will be paying attention to the Royal Rumble tonight.

It sure looks like Teague is not a John Cena fan.

Let’s be honest though, this is what happens in all of sports, not just sports entertainment. Superstars run their course and fans want a fresh face to be interjected.

How often did fans say it about Stone Cold Steve Austin in the late 90’s or The Rock at the turn of the millennium? Sometimes the ultimate “heel” who turns “face” and remains that cornerstone wrestler needs to be put to the ultimate test and face the ultimate challenge.

Cena has won the event twice already: once back in 2008 and just two years ago in Phoenix.

Tonight in Philadelphia he’ll try to become only the second wrestler to win the event three times (Stone Cold Steve Austin).
