For anyone not following wrestling, John Cena is a longtime top star in WWE known for being the ultimate good guy. He is finally doing something fans have waited years for, a “heel turn,” where he is a villain. It’s a big deal because Cena’s whole career was built on being the face of the company, always doing the right thing. A heel turn is a rare character shift, especially this late in his career, and it had the potential to be one of the most compelling stories WWE’s told in a while.
But so far, it’s been kind of a letdown.
His promos are still great on their own he’s one of the best talkers in the business but they don’t hit as hard as I’d expect.
