John Cena speaks about possible ‘heel turn’ ahead of impending return at Summerslam
16-time World Champion John Cena spoke about his return to WWE after an absence of a year plus. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, he discusses his possible heel turn after playing the ‘bad guy’ in Fast 9 : The Fast Saga.
Cena is planning to return to face WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a packed Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas in August. He says:
“As WWE invests and builds its roster and has a wealth of talent, it truly has many different anchors to the ship. Certainly Roman Reigns being a very marketable and definitive star. I think the reason for me not exploring that side is because WWE didn’t feel confident that they had an alternative. I respect that business choice I really do. But now with them really laying the foundation for their future, I mean even for life in the next decade or so, maybe but I don’t know.”
John Cena on his Return
Cena made his last appearance at WrestleMania 36 against Bray Wyatt. He did not show up at this year’s WrestleMania to everyone’s surprise.
“I’m excited for the WWE performers. I know hard it’s been. I don’t think I would have done very well in this atmosphere without an audience. . As a performer, I am happy for the WWE to have crowds again. I really look forward to get back in front of those crowds. But I am happy for everybody that their music can hit and they can feel that genuine excitement that makes all of our hearts beat.”
John Cena has been a babyface in his entire career. Fans across the wrestling world asked for a heel turn which received a mixed reaction inside the ring.
Reigns, meanwhile is the biggest heel in the business right now. He has already taken his game to another level with Paul Heyman. His defense of the title includes a WrestleMania 37 win against Daniel Bryan and Edge.
A match up between Cena and Reigns will be a rematch to No Mercy 2017. Cena will be looking to take his revenge and equal the score between the past and present of WWE.
