The heel turn of John Cena has definitely become an overnight sensation and it has been nearly a week but people cannot stop talking about it. Cena had been working as a babyface for more than 21 long years, and there had also been a consistent request for a heel turned since 2009. But because of the PG product of WWE, Vince McMahon never took the request of turning him heel since he was pretty much over with children.
After the latest heel turn of Cena, videos are coming out that children are crying badly over this incident. This shocking turn of events proved that WWE is not a PG product anymore and it is ready to satisfy everyone; from marks to smarks. The heel turn of Cena has already registered itself into the history books and it will always be remembered as one of the most shocking incidents in wrestling history.
