When John Cena turned heel and attacked Cody Rhodes at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, the WWE Universe had one burning question: Why did he do that? Fans posted numerous videos of themselves throwing away his action figures in response to his heel turn. The Doctor of Thuganomics appeared on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw to address all the questions.
John Cena opened the show, and fans made it clear that explaining his actions against Cody Rhodes wouldn’t be easy. After loud “John Cena sucks” chants, he completely turned on the fans and blamed them for his downfall. The 16-time World Champion also said the audience did nothing to deserve new merchandise or a new theme song.
He blamed the WWE Universe for never appreciating his years of hard work and always thinking it was never enough. Cena delivered a hate-filled promo, saying fans only saw him as an object and never cared about his feelings. He called his relationship with the fans dysfunctional and toxic—and ended it.
But before Cena could say another word, Cody Rhodes stormed into a thunderous ovation. It was a sight to behold as the two biggest faces of the company stood face-to-face. The American Nightmare put the legendary wrestler in his place, challenging him to bring the real John Cena—not this “whiny” version. Both stars will be on the upcoming episode of Raw, and it’s safe to say that chaos is guaranteed.
John Cena shared a cryptic post after he turned on his fans
The 16-time world champion seemed genuinely heartbroken by how the fans had treated him over the past 20 years. After ending his relationship with the WWE Universe, Cena shared a cryptic post, further confirming his status with fans as a heel.
He took to Instagram and shared a picture of Ross and Rachel from the TV show Friends. Their relationship was portrayed as passionate but toxic, reflecting the ups and downs Cena experienced with the WWE Universe.
One thing to notice is that Ross and Rachel reunite and continue their relationship at the end of the series. Many fans believe this could subtly foreshadow Cena reuniting with them by turning babyface again. The legendary wrestler is in the final run of his decorated career, and fans are eager to enjoy every moment while they can.
