A John Cena Heel turn has been talked about throughout the wrestling community for years. Right now, Cena is cheered by mostly children under the age of the 15 and booed by young adults for a mixed reaction. The older fans want to see Cena change up his character with a full blown heel turn. Cena has heard the criticism for years and has made light of it numerous times. Tuesday night was no different when Cena made a joke about a heel turn on Twitter:
Self Aware John Cena likes messing with fans who he knows want to see him turn heel. I have explained before how I doubt it will ever happen because he makes the WWE an insane amount of money based on selling merchandise to children. Cena is the WWE’s cash cow and has been for years. I don’t think they would ever put that in jeopardy by turning John Cena heel. Sure it will make a lot of fans angry and Cena will continue to get boos and told that he sucks but his character will remain the same.
I think a Cena turning heel in the same fashion that Hulk Hogan did with the NWO would be one of the greatest moments in wrestling history. Fans have wanted it for years and he would be turning his back on all the young fans he has inspired. Cena is great on the mic and could cut some phenomenal heel promos I am sure. As a wrestling fan, it is hard not to want this. As a realist, there is a very small chance this ever comes to fruition.
Regardless it was a funny joke by John Cena and I can’t wait to see him return to the ring!
