WWE legend Rob Van Dam wants to see a "Goth John Cena"

During an edition of his 1 Of A Kind With RVD podcast, Rob Van Dam pitched an idea for John Cena's current run as a heel. The WWE Hall of Famer said he wanted to see the 17-time World Champion dye his hair jet black and become a goth version of himself on TV.

"I can also see where if all of a sudden he had like jet black hair or something. That would really drive the point home in a more obvious way and also make it seem like he's gone through some changes in his mind because I assume when people do that that they're going through some changes in their head when they're like, 'I'm gonna make my hair purple, or whatever.' I could see Goth John Cena," he said.

RVD is still wrestling in different independent promotions in 2025. It will be interesting to see if the legend will compete inside a WWE ring anytime soon.
