John Cena returned to WWE RAW as a full-blown heel and cut a scathing promo to respond to the WWE Universe on why he did what he did. The environment inside the Forest National Arena in Brussels was intense when Cena came out the fans were thoroughly booing him and went all out against the legendary wrestler with their hostile chants like 'John Cena Sucks' and 'F**k You Cena,' as the leader of the Cenation stood with a deranged look. Cena's promo did the magic, which has left the backstage executives highly impressed.
The Monday Night RAW had a lot of anticipation on what John Cena would say after he turned heel and aligned himself with The Rock. The Elimination Chamber had one of the most shocking endings after Cena turned on the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and launched a heinous attack which left Rhodes bloodied. Cody and the WWE Universe were seeking answers, and the 16-time World Champion gave them a bold response in a heel-ish promo. Cena did a fabulous job with the mic as a heel after 22 years, and his promo was received well among the people backstage.
As per Fightful Select, WWE is happy with the response over John Cena, with the backstage executives being 'ecstatic' with the reception he got from the crowd in Brussels.
A WWE source also told Fightful that future TV tapings could return in Belgium as it was the "hottest TV environment they've ever experienced."
John Cena made an appearance at the Forest National Arena in Brussels, Belgium, making his initial appearance after the Elimination Chamber 2025. Cena came out and simply walked towards the squared circle. Mind you, he did not make the traditional sprint, and neither did he interact with Stu the Cameraman.
During the promo, John Cena highlighted that he had been in an abusive relationship with the WWE fans for years and that he was breaking up with them. He also said that the fans acted like bullies towards him because he won a lot of championship titles over the years. He even rained down his verbal terror towards the fans who wore his merch and even called a crying baby pathetic.
