Folks, let me tell you—we all saw it, but apparently, half the WWE locker room didn’t. That’s right, John Cena’s earth-shattering, history-making, this-should-be-illegal-in-42-states heel turn at Elimination Chamber wasn’t just a shock to fans—it was a shock to WWE itself.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this wasn’t the original plan. In fact, it was supposed to happen at WrestleMania! But at some point—maybe in a secret Illuminati-style meeting—the decision was made day-of to pull the trigger early. And guess what? Even some of WWE’s top producers had no clue!
WHAT WE KNOW
📌 Cena was originally supposed to just win the Chamber.
📌 The Rock-Cody Rhodes confrontation was still happening, but WITHOUT Cena.
📌 The Cena heel turn was supposed to be saved for WrestleMania 41’s finish.
📌 Suddenly, out of nowhere—BOOM, they pull the trigger early.
And now we get to the real fun part. Dave Meltzer says there’s a possibility that WWE swerved its own employees—meaning the top brass might have always planned for this to happen at Elimination Chamber but kept their own people in the dark! Big Brain booking or total chaos? You decide.
WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL
✅ Cena’s been WWE’s ultimate good guy for 21 YEARS. That’s 7,786 days of hustle, loyalty, and jorts.
✅ This isn’t just a heel turn—it’s a full-blown career shift. Cena has now aligned with The Rock, aka “The Final Boss,” and is gunning for Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.
✅ Ric Flair’s 16x championship record? WWE is now setting up Charlotte Flair to break it. If Cena wins at Mania, he’ll break it first—but if WWE changes course, Charlotte might get there before him. (Insert Ric Flair’s shocked face here.)
FINAL THOUGHTS
So let’s get this straight—WWE booked one of the biggest swerves in years, possibly kept their own roster in the dark, and just made WrestleMania 41 a must-watch event? Folks, this is brilliant. This is cinema. This is WWE at its absolute chaotic best.
And one last thing—Cena’s heel run is already shaping up to be more diabolical than the time I got kicked off Twitter. And that’s saying something.
