The age of John Cena as a heel officially seems to be over.
During tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Cena seemingly turned babyface, in a heartfelt moment with Cody Rhodes in the ring. The show opened tonight with Cena and Rhodes facing off in the ring. Instead of a brawl, though, Cena got surprisingly honest, and thanked Rhodes for forcing their Street Fight to happen.
Cena said that for the past five months, he’s needed a kick in the ass. He said he realized he flushed everything he believed in “down the toilet” just to try and make shocking TV. Cena then took a shot at The Rock, saying the people who’s idea it was left him “high and dry.” Now, though, Cena says he wants to take the belt into retirement to make sure people don’t forget him.
Cena went on to say that he should’ve listened to Rhodes, and that Cody was being a good friend. Now, no matter who wins at SummerSlam, Cena says the fans will win. A shocked Rhodes then wouldn’t let Cena leave before getting two beers and toasting to the new Cena.
The move comes as a surprise, and also during a time in which countless rumors about Cody Rhodes potentially turning heel at SummerSlam have swirled. With Cena seemingly a new man, it’ll be interesting to see what happens during their match at SummerSlam.
