John Cena congratulated Triple H recently on a huge accomplishment, and fans were mad at him for breaking kayfabe.
WWE executive and part-time wrestler Triple H received a tremendous honor recently, as he was selected as one of the newest members of the International Sports Hall of Fame. With something like this, you would suspect that his colleagues would go out of their way to congratulate him, which WWE superstar John Cena did.
Congrats to @TripleH for his induction into the 2015 Int'l Hall of Fame. Well deserved for a career of hard work and excellence.

That was nice of Cena to send the message to Hunter, although there were some people that took offense to Cena “breaking kayfabe.”
You see, at the moment, Triple H plays a heel on television while, of course, Cena is the hero face. The two have been at one another’s throats as of late, so there were some fans that called Cena out for what he did.
@JohnCena whoop his butt on raw seth rollions and brock make a statement

Are. You. People. Kidding?
Because of some of the outrage, even though it’s 2015 and he really wasn’t required to, Cena offered up an explanation in a “kayfabe” way.
It is never out of context to recognize the accomplishments of a rival. There is passion, there is also respect. Understand the difference

Is it possible that some people were just trolling? Of course, but the sad part is, it’s also entirely possible that they were serious as well.
