One of the most shocking events of 2025 is John Cena becoming Heel during his retirement tour, since no one saw him coming. The WWE Hall of Fame, Teddy Long, explained why the character change is perfectly.
When the world champion 16 times won the Elimination Chamber fight, it seemed that a confrontation between Babyfaces for WrestleMania 41 was gestured. However, the leader of the ancestry betrayed the American nightmare, as well as fans, when he appeared in RAW this week.
In The Wrestling Time Machine With Mac Davis, Teddy Long shared his thoughts about the Heel of John Cena and his promo. He said that the latter was a heel in real life and thought it was appropriate.
“Oh, it was not much for me. John Cena is now being John Cena. The best heel in the world is the guy who is a heel in real life. And that, you know, it's nothing against him. I like it, it's a great guy. But he is a heel in real life, and this is perfectly. (3: 57-4: 21)
When Bill Apter asked him to clarify, Teddy Long replied with:
“All I have said is this. That is perfectly him, and that's all I am going to say.” (4: 31-4: 36)
