Hall of Famer defends John Cena amid major WWE criticism: "I don't buy it" (Exclusive)

John Cena has recently been the target of much criticism in WWE, owing to his heel run. However, NWA Hall of Famer Bill Apter has an entirely different opinion.

Cena's heel turn, despite being shocking, has faced significant criticism from fans regarding its storyline. Many believe that The Rock's involvement and subsequent disappearance from the plot have made the story feel disconnected. Furthermore, there is a lack of credible opponents for him as well after he defeated Cody Rhodes.

Speaking on UnSKripted, Bill Apter defended the reigning WWE Undisputed Champion and stated:

"They (fans) are saying that 'John Cena's heel turn is horrible, it doesn't work, blah blah blah.' I don't buy it. That's the internet wrestling community, people. It's not the people, the kids, and the fans that are watching it. I think he is growing in the heel world, and I don't think it's as bad as people on the internet are saying it is. That's my opinion." [25:27 onwards]
