Dr of Thuganomics is BACK! John Cena shocks the world by turning HEEL

John Cena has officially turned heel in WWE for the first time in 22 years.

After winning his last Elimination Chamber match, the 47-year-old wrestler will now headline WrestleMania, where he will face WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes.

Following Cena’s victory, Rhodes confronted him in the ring. After a handshake between the two, The Rock’s music hit, and he made his way to the ring accompanied by Travis Scott.

John Cena and The Rock join forces

The Rock expressed his desire for Cody to become “his” champion but was met with a harsh response: “Go f*** yourself.” In a shocking turn of events, Cena went to hug Cody for his decision but instead betrayed him by aligning with The Rock.

Cena and Scott then held Rhodes down, allowing The Rock to whip him with his custom-made weightlifting belt.

Cena’s heel turn came unexpectedly, however many fans reacted positively to him attacking Rhodes and aligning himself with The Rock.
