John Cena’s shocking moment at last month’s Elimination Chamber quickly became a hot topic. Fans were stunned because he hadn’t acted this way since 2003. Though he hasn’t commented on his on-screen dynamic with The Rock, which fueled the surprise, Cena has a clear message for the audience.
In his first interview about his heel turn, Cena told PEOPLE that fans should expect more surprises. When pressed for details, the 16-time World Champion refused to share. He explained that WWE is in an exciting phase, and he didn’t want to spoil anything.
Despite his playful deflection, Cena appreciated the question, as it highlighted WWE’s unpredictability. Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, told Daily Mail that Cena loved the idea of a heel turn for his farewell run. Triple H also expressed relief that WWE kept Cena’s twist a secret until the right moment.
“I’m going to say that there’s more unpredictability on the way”
