John Cena Heel Turn?

 One of the WWE's biggest baby faces has been John Cena for over a decade. But there have been times when people have wanted John Cena to become the bad guy, because his character has gotten old and predictable. It is safe to say you will know how a John Cena story line will end. John Cena fights the bad guy, loses to him by disqualification or the bad guy wins with help, then John wins the next 3 encounters without help, thus ending the feud and any momentum the heel had from the win. But what would happen if WWE had turned him heel? I will be talking about 3 times or ways John Cena could turn heel.

1. Vs CM Punk. At the time of Punk's last title reign, he wasn't seen as the bad guy. He was seen as the revitalization of the WWE. Watch any match of CM Punk's in 2012, and you will see how much the fans picture him. Now at the time of his feud with John Cena, he just defeated Cena at Money In the Bank, and left the company as the champ while his contract ended. When Punk won, in his home town of Chicago, the fans reacted like he was a god. Soon, WWE set up a tournament, which lasted about a month, to crown a new champion, and it was won by long time baby face and underdog, Rey Mysterio, it being is first ever run with the WWE Championship. The fans where overjoyed at Rey finally winning the title, but later that night, he got told that since John wasn't fired for losing to Punk, Rey had to defend his newly won title 2 hours after winning it, and he lost to Cena. This pissed off the fans, but what excited them was that when Cena stood in the ring the next week holding the championship, CM Punk came back holding the old belt. Fans wanted Punk to win so badly, and they where behind him so much, it just made sense to have Cena be the heel and Punk to be the face, but it never happened. Cena stayed the face, and Punk lost the title to The Rock, ending the feud as the less popular baby face.

2. Vs The Rock. At Wrestlemania 27, John Cena fought the Miz for the WWE championship, which the Miz was the current champ. when the match ended with a double countout, the Rock, who was completely over with the fans and was and still is the biggest baby face in the company, restarted the match. Then when Cena was about to win, he planted Cena with a Rock Bottom, allowing Miz to win. They then set up a match between Rock and Cena at the main of event of Wrestlemania. Both men entered as faces, and the Rock won. Cena then came back months after his lose, won the Royal Rumble, and challenged the Rock at Mania for a rematch and for the WWE Championship. At the time the Rock was a lot more over then Cena and the match was for the title, so if they wanted to they could have had Cena cheat to beat the Rock at the main event of Wrestlemania for the WWE Championship. This would have light a fire under Cena, changed his image, and would have set the WWE into a new area. Instead they had Cena win clean, and the story line fell flat in the end.

 3. Defeating the Streak. Back in 2014, the Undertaker was a fan favoirte and was 21-0 at Wrestlemania. No one could beat him. He was just unstoppable. it would have been the biggest heel turn in history if Cena had cheated to defeat the streak, but instead Brock Lesnar beat the streak clean, and Cena and Taker have never even fought each other in a one on one match. If Cena had been the one to end the streak, and cheat to do so, it would have changed wrestling as we know it, as one of the greatest wrestlers in history lost a part of his legacy to someone who was not only a face, but is as big of a star as the Undertaker.
