John Cena’s Heel Turn Was No Shock to Natalya After Seeing His Real-Life Attitude

The WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event ended in a completely shocking way—John Cena turned heel and joined forces with The Rock, fully selling his soul to The Final Boss. With that said, Natalya has made it clear that his heel turn wasn’t surprising.

While speaking to The Toronto Sun, Natalya reacted to John Cena’s heel turn by expressing how shocking it was for many people, but not necessarily for her. She pointed out that Cena has granted more Make-A-Wishes than anyone and is the definition of a babyface. She added that fans never saw this coming, unless they had watched Total Divas.

Having been on every season of the show, Natalya recalled Cena’s strict house rules. Guests always had to take their shoes off at the door, and he was the type of person who always used a coaster under his cup. Based on that, she said she could sense a heel turn coming from a mile away.

“This is just so shocking for many people. John Cena has granted more Make-A-Wishes than anyone. If you look up ‘babyface’ in the dictionary, his picture is right next to it. Nobody expected this—unless you watched Total Divas.

I was on every season of Total Divas, and I remember how strict John’s house rules were. You always had to take your shoes off at the door. He was one of those people who always had a coaster under their cup. So I knew a heel turn was coming—I could feel it a mile away.”

According to Fightful Select, while early reports said The Rock wanted to team up with Cody Rhodes in a shocking heel turn, the only confirmed part of the story is that Rhodes was offered a heel turn but turned it down. The rest, including the timeline and details, is still unclear.

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber match and will be challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 and Cena is expected to make his WWE television return during the March 17th edition of Monday Night RAW. Therefore, we’ll have to wait and see how WWE will book Cena’s heel run in the coming weeks, as the pro wrestling world has truly changed because of this.
