Wrestlemania 41 And John Cena’s Iconic Heel Turn

At Elimination Chamber, John Cena sided with The Rock against Cody Rhodes, ushering in the heel turn that professional wrestling fans had been dreaming of for twenty years.

At Rock’s direction, Cena bloodied Rhodes, establishing a turning point in professional wrestling history and a startling route to the main event at WrestleMania 41. This moment will go down in history as memorable as Hulk Hogan’s heel turn and Seth Rollins’ betrayal of The Shield.

Cena’s embrace of Rhodes and his observation of Rock for the command had award-worthy presentation value, and both actors’ nuanced acting spoke volumes.

John Cena’s move that shocked the world

Fans needed to understand what Cena’s expression meant at the time.but was still incredulous:

The most amazing and outrageous aspect of the narrative? Perhaps fans should have anticipated it. Not only was this Cena’s final opportunity to attempt the legendary heel turn, but it was also possibly the best one ever. He was anxious to win the main event at ‘Mania and his 17th title to redeem his retirement tour.

Over the past few weeks, there have also been subtle references. Unlike everyone else, Cena had to earn his place in the Chamber. Then, despite his one-year retirement tour, he missed events because he was away filming something.

In the actual game? To steal the victory and punch his ticket to ‘Mania, he was more than glad to take advantage of Rollins slamming CM Punk’s skull into a metal grating.

Consider the history of that place. Do you recall when Vince McMahon attempted to intervene in a Punk-Cena title bout at a Money in the Bank event and Cena reprimanded him? causing the Punk to win in an unexpected manner before the Best in the World managed to get away via the crowd?

Cena was more than willing to accept the help this time. Then, when it came time to attack, they were more than willing to pretend to be happy for Rhodes. After years of suffering setbacks as a part-time worker, he is also on the verge of desperation.
