After the Heel Turn 3 More Surprises Fans Could See in John Cena's Current WWE Run

John Cena's heel turn has become one of the most game-changing moments in the history of WWE.
John Cena had always been shown as the 'Superman of WWE' and was loved by millions across the world. But in the last run of his illustrious career, The Cenation Leader decided to make it all about himself. At the end of the WWE Elimination Chamber, The Rock signaled Cena to go rogu,e and he did so by attacking Cody Rhodes, who he will face at WrestleMania 41 for the Undisputed WWE title.
Cena's actions garnered loud and shocking reactions from the audience. This has possibly hinted at the fact that more surprises could be in store for the WWE Universe for the entire duration of his farewell tour. Here are three more surprises that fans could see on John Cena's run as a heel:

3. John Cena's entire presentation

An important part of John Cena's presentation was his being a top babyface in WWE. The Cenation Leader is known for his jorts, theme song, cap, armbands, and many other elements that made him a household name in the company. But now that Cena has turned heel, he might just abandon everything that made him look like the ultimate 'Superhero' of WWE. The 16-time WWE Champion could debut a new remix entrance, possibly of his Doctor of Thuganomics song, and even don new ring gear to begin his new journey as WWE's new villain.

2. New Faction

John Cena has made a new alliance with The Final Boss, The Rock, who corrupted him to turn his back on the fans. The duo can strengthen their alliance with The Rock ordering Cena to form a powerful faction. This could be reminiscent of Hollywood Hulk Hogan expanding the nWo faction in WCW. Cena could recruit some strong soldiers to his faction, which would also provide young talent with the opportunity to work alongside veterans like John Cena and The Rock.

1. 17th World Title Victory

The clock is running out on John Cena, as his in-ring career will come to an end in December 2025. Cena has shown his desperacy to win a 17th World Championship before hanging up his boots, which could be one of the reasons he turned heel. Cena could once again shock the world by doing just that, possibly at WrestleMania 41, by defeating Cody Rhodes. He could then reveal that this time, it was all about himself and not the fans, which led to him becoming a record-breaking World Champion.
