John Cena And Cody Rhodes Unleash Themselves On Each Other

John Cena's heel turn has been the biggest talking point of the WWE lately. Cena, who has been an ultimate good guy for the past two decades, has turned into a bad guy, and that too on his farewell tour. On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, John Cena came out to confront Cody Rhodes.

Cena spoke at length on why he sold out to The Rock during Elimination Chamber. Rhodes, in return, said that it's a shame that John Cena still can't wrestle after spending over two decades in the industry. Cena tried to take a cheap shot at the 'American Nightmare' and tried to execute an Attitude Adjustment, but Cody dodged it and hit Cena with a Cross Rhodes.
