John Cena seemingly turned babyface again last night on WWE SmackDown and slyly paid tribute to Hulk Hogan in the process.
Last night’s episode of SmackDown kicked off with a face-to-face promo between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. In a surprising turn of events, Cena seemingly turned babyface ahead of his street fight with Rhodes this Sunday at SummerSlam.
The American Nightmare was pleased with Cena’s speech and decided to propose a toast to the 17-time World Champion, offering him a beer and a handshake. The beer in question? A can of Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer.
While it’s evidently clear after three straight episodes of WWE programming honoring the two-time Hall of Famer, the company has moved on from front and center tributes to the Hulkster; this was clearly a tribute from Cena and Rhodes without blatantly saying it.
