HEEL JOHN CENA APPRECIATION THREAD

[TOAD99]

I’ll list in order of who would I’d prefer

1. Corporate Heel Cena would break the internet and would honestly be the most compelling
2. Logan Paul would honestly make a lot of sense as a corporate puppet for the rock plus has star power
3. Punk a rebel being corporate champ would be good
4. Drew
5. Already had corporate Rollins ehh

 

[TL15]

Stupid fantasy booking:

Cena wins the chamber

Punks favor is that he gets in the match

Final boss says you can’t do WM without his cousin Roman in the top spot

Fatal 4 way

Cena turns, wins the title and hits the

With one of his biggest rivals

Actual corporate Rock seeding Cody turning heel as corporate rep after losing his mind losing to Cena at WM seems like a can't miss angle to me. Literally the only chance for such a thing that feels so right.

Logan Paul in the main event

It's gotta be Cena, Punk, or Cody actually turning. Anything else is a letdown imo.

Cena wins chamber

Punk uses his favor
Rock gets denied by all 3. Drew sells his soul and rock puts him in

Fatal four way

Drew wins main event. Cena eventually beats him in December before retiring

Roman faces seth

 

[Dipsey Doo]

They've been quietly building up a Seth Rollins heel turn for months. Seth takes the L at Elimination Chamber due to Roman, takes the L at Wrestlemania against Roman and then Rock inserts him in Cody's match to win the WWE title.

I just don't see Cena agreeing to turn heel during his retirement tour. Cena is at his best when he's chasing something. Cena trying to get that record breaking reign is the story they are going with.

Punk turning into the establishment lackey would be interesting and a change. But he has Heyman's favor - so I'm ruling him out.

Logan Paul is already a heel and it would be underwhelming was chosen to Rock's lackey. Pass

I thought Drew would be an option - call me crazy - but I see him turning face soon.

Cody turning heel at WM would be like Stone Cold turning at WM 17 but I don't see Triple H being the type to telegraph a huge move like this months in advance.

Seth on the other hand, has the backstory with Cody, Rock and the Bloodline. Has sacrificed the most during Cody's arc, is obsessed with being the champion and character wise for him joining up with the Rock makes sense. Seth is due for a heel turn anyways

Let's look at the options.

Cena - Major opportunity to make a big moment at Mania by running a two man power trip between two of the biggest WWE stars who turned Hollywood.

Would make sense because of Cena's desperation (all he does is lose nowadays) to win number 17. The press conference also made him say the infamous best for business line which was very heel like. Also his prior history with Rock comes to play.

Punk - Works if the 'favor' factors into the decision of teaming up with Rock. Heyman would have to be cahoots with Rock to turn on Roman also. Which in turn leads to Rock and Roman next year. So for future storyline purposes this could be the best option.

Rollins - Yesterday's segment made this a stronger case than it has any right to be.

I personally wouldn't go with it because we've seen Rollins in a major corporate stooge role in the Authoriry. So that's 'been there done that' status.

Drew - Definitely a strong case. You can tie in the Rock resigning Drew and awarding him a sword for his efforts. Also a way for Drew to corrupt the Bloodline from withing since he has struggled to take them down on his own. Stronger option than most but wouldn't make for a popular choice.

Logan - A hat on a hat. Breh already the biggest heel in the company. So this is a hard no.

Priest - Best option of them all

Cena hopefully. Just imagine them both Zoomin' in Hollywood promos.

Man where the fucck is Roman at….?


He should be The Rock’s handpicked champion after all the shyt the past year, acknowledging him as tribal chief, and laying him on the Netflix premiere.

Nicca been way too quiet

You see it

Actually turning Cody would be so stupid and the worst example of the Russo booking everyone says is dumb. You'd be turning him just to turn somebody every few years to "keep things fresh" not because it actually makes sense.

They spent 2 years and their biggest angle to get Cody over as a top babyface champion, and it's worked. And he doesn't get booed at all like Cena and Roman did. And you want to throw that away after a year just to keep people turning to keep things fresh. Him just coming out every week cutting "you people" promos sounds thrilling, huh?

Should have never had Cody finish his story in the first place.

Yeah people are nuts.

In AEW it would have made sense. Now it would be stupid as fucck.

A Cena heel turn has potential to break the internet like when the Streak was broken. You just don't pass up a goldmine opportunity like that, IMO.

And yet he will
