It's the turn that the whole world has been begging for. Well, at least some of us, anyhow. John Cena is the Hulk Hogan of the new era. If, and when his heel turn finally comes to fruition, it'll send shockwaves throughout the entire industry, just as Hogan did in 1996, at Bash at the Beach.
Of course, there will be critics who say a Cena heel turn will have negative effects on merch sales, at least with the parents who buy Cena swag for their kids. However, the good will likely outweigh the bad in this scenario.
The ratings will see an immediate increase if we are privy to a bad guy Cena on a weekly basis. Also, fans won't be so resistant against Cena holding a major title if he's a heel either. There's just a lot of appeal to seeing such a staunch babyface turn heel. We, as fans, are attracted to those type of taboo angles. When it's all said and done, having Cena turn, will be another historic notch under his legendary belt.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
