Triple H Opens Up On Cena Turning Heel

John Cena turning heel has become the biggest talking point of the WWE universe. John Cena, who helped Cody Rhodes with the WWE Undisputed Championship last year, turned on him during the Elimination Chamber. WWE CCO Triple H has now opened up on the creative decision behind Cena turning heel.

"I went to John and said, what if we pulled the lever that no one wanted to ever pull and turned you into a heel? Because to me, it sort of felt like if you never do it, like we kind of just left it dangling there. And there, to me, it's okay, so now we get to write for this guy who has been this ultimate good guy for 20 years. We get to turn him bad. I pitched this idea to John over a call, and he said, 'Wow'," said the Game while speaking on the High Performance Podcast.
