John Cena Sends Cryptic Warning Ahead of SmackDown After Shocking Heel Turn

John Cena isn’t backing down—and now he’s got the WWE Universe in his crosshairs. After turning his back on fans and Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber 2025, the 16-time World Champion is doubling down with a cryptic warning ahead of SmackDown in Bologna, Italy.

On X/Twitter, Cena fired off a message that had fans doing double takes. “Be accountable and aware of the environment you create,” he posted, just hours before his next WWE appearance. No context, no follow-up—just a pointed reminder that his heel persona isn’t going anywhere.

Cena’s descent into full-on villainy began on March 1 in Toronto, when he blindsided Cody Rhodes and aligned himself with The Rock and rapper Travis Scott in a brutal three-on-one assault. The move shocked the crowd, and things escalated even further on this week’s episode of RAW in Brussels.

During the show, Cena justified his actions by putting the blame squarely on the WWE Universe. “You used me for 20 years,” he told fans. “You didn’t support me—you manipulated me, controlled me, made me your puppet.” The arena erupted in boos, with dueling “Cena sucks” and “Let’s go Cena” chants echoing throughout the night. Cody Rhodes tried to reason with him, but Cena stormed off in silence as fans sang “na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.”

Now, all eyes are on Bologna to see what Cena does next—and whether his cryptic tweet was a warning to Cody Rhodes, the WWE roster, or the entire fanbase.
