John Cena shocked everyone when he went full heel at this year’s Elimination Chamber, completely embracing his dark side. Since then, he’s been like a whole new person, shaking up the WWE landscape.
He snatched the World Championship from Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 and successfully defended it against his longtime rival, Randy Orton, at Backlash. Fans were buzzing with rumors about whether Cena might turn babyface again, and now, a subtle hint from his latest WWE RAW segment with CM Punk pretty much confirms the fact that he will embrace his good side again.
CM Punk hints at John Cena turning a baby face again
In the latest episode of RAW, CM Punk stepped up to John Cena and challenged him for the WWE title. Cena agreed, but with one big condition: Punk has to face him in Saudi Arabia at Night of Champions.
During their segment, something interesting happened that might hint at Cena turning baby face again, just as many have speculated. Punk claimed that when they were trapped together inside the Elimination Chamber earlier this year, he saw proof that Cena is still a good guy.
According to Punk, right before Cena eliminated him, he apologized to Punk, which is totally out of character for his current ruthless persona.
CM Punk went further, saying that it’s the championship belt that has twisted Cena, turning him into a monster. But deep down, Cena isn’t like that, he’s got a good heart, just clouded by the pressure of holding the title.
Cena didn’t say a word in response; he just stood there, visibly affected, almost as if he knew Punk was speaking the truth. This could be the biggest sign yet that Cena is gearing up to turn face again, possibly before hanging up his boots for good.
Triple H might be going the wrong way with Cena’s farewell tour
Triple H might be losing the fans’ trust with the way he’s handling John Cena’s farewell tour. WWE lined up a blockbuster showdown between John Cena and CM Punk, but Triple H is catching serious heat for potentially messing it up by scheduling such a high-stakes match in Saudi Arabia.
He had the perfect chance to book this epic clash at Money in the Bank this year, but shockingly, he passed on it and went with a pretty underwhelming tag team match instead.
Fans aren’t holding back, they’re furious that this must-watch battle is happening at the wrong place and time, especially since WWE’s biggest audience comes from Europe and America.
Booking such a major match so far away doesn’t sit right with them. With all the criticism piling up, Triple H might need to pull off something big to regain trust and secure his position in the company.
