One of the biggest shocks of 2025 was the heel turn of the 17-time WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena. He turned at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. This heel turn has helped the Leader of the Cenation capture his 17th WWE Undisputed Championship. This marked the first time Cena turned heel in over a decade.
Recently, while speaking to Stephanie McMahon on her show, Stephanie’s Places on ESPN, John Cena opened up about his current run as a heel. The 17-time WWE Undisputed Champion mentioned that he had learnt how to be a heel from a lot of good and talented people. He also stated that the wife of Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, is on that very short list of names. He also claimed that he has blatantly stolen a lot of Stephanie McMahon’s heel persona.
“Can I just say I had some really good people to learn from. You are on a very short list of names that falls into. I flat out steal a lot from you. So, thanks for helping me through this,” John Cena said. [H/T Fightful.com]
