One thing that John Cena hasn't quite done in a long time is turn heel. Cena has been the quintessential babyface for the majority of his career - a hero for young kids, saying and doing all the right things, and being an underdog almost all the time.

But, at last year's WrestleMania, Cena joked about turning heel during his rap on Elias, as well as about "burying" The Drifter. Could WWE use that particular aspect of his segment and turn it into a program for him on the road to WrestleMania 36?

While it will be odd of WWE to do that to one of their most recognisable babyfaces of the last 15 years, the promotion have done made even bigger swerves in the past!

Cena turning heel could give him several dream feuds with babyfaces that he may not have had a chance to face in the past. A heel turn could also show fans a different side of Cena, one that they may actually enjoy and not boo.
