Official The Rock vs. John Cena Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption, TWICE IN A LIFETIME

wwe.com said:
Less than a month after winning the Royal Rumble Match and announcing his intention of challenging for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 29, John Cena found out who his championship opposition will be on The Grandest Stage of Them All: The Rock.

The Great One upended CM Punk at Elimination Chamber, the last pay-per-view before The Show of Shows, to retain the cherished WWE Championship and solidify his place in WrestleMania’s main event.

In The Brahma Bull, Cena will be facing a foe who helped set in motion the tailspin of a year that was 2012.

A 10-time former WWE Champion, the Cenation leader has not held the title since October 2011, and the disappointment of his drought was exacerbated last year by his high-profile loss to The Great One at WrestleMania XXVIII. The devastating loss bookended one of Cena’s toughest calendar years, to date. A series of distractions, from dealing with former General Manager John Laurinaitis to falling into an ill-fated romance with AJ Lee, kept Cena away from the WWE Title picture for much of the year. And even once he found himself in title contention, he was unable to pry the WWE Title from Punk, making 2012 a largely unproductive year for one of the most decorated competitors in WWE history.

Fortunately for the Cenation leader, 2013 appears to be off to a markedly better start, thanks to his huge win at Royal Rumble. The larger question facing Cena is whether he will be able to keep the momentum going all the way to April 7, when he faces the Superstar who dealt him one of the biggest losses of his career.

The Rock has shown no signs of ring rust since returning to WWE and winning the WWE Title in January. In fact, The Great One overcame great obstacles — including The Shield and The Second City Saint’s underhanded tactics — en route to dethroning Punk and subsequently turning back his challenge in a rematch.

With The Rock and Cena informed by their epic encounter last year in Miami, both competitors will assuredly come to MetLife Stadium with a more sharpened focus than ever before. Cena is out to avenge last year’s WrestleMania loss to The Great One. The Rock, on the other hand, appears intent on keeping the championship he waited more than a decade to reclaim — the title that represents the sport that not only propelled him to success on the silver screen, but also captured his heart and mind at a young age.

Now, all that separates The Rock and John Cena is time. On April 7, under the brightest lights that sports-entertainment has to offer, who will leave will the top prize: The Rock or John Cena?







WWE NEWS: Rock outlines long-term return plan, why he returned to WWE in the first place, previews WM29 main event vs. Cena



WWE champion The Rock outlined the long-term plans working with John Cena in an interview with Matt Fowler of IGN.com discussing his TV shoot for "The Hero."

"You have to understand that my return back into the WWE was years in the making. And since I've been back, it's been a three year-long journey that started at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta," Rock said. "So, John has always been my first choice (to work with)."

Rock added that when he decided to return to WWE, he surveyed the roster and wanted to work with the full-time wrestler he could do the most business with.

"Here's the thing," Rock said. "The question was that if I was going to go back in the WWE, how could I go back and make the most impact? With who can I headline WrestleMania in that company and make the most impact? And the bottom line is that it continues to be John Cena. Just in terms of, and we'll use a Hollywood term here, box office appeal. Universal appeal. Athletic pairing. So there are a lot of reasons."

Rock also acknowledged that part of his mission returning to WWE is to elevate Cena, which results in strengthening WWE by having its top full-time star in a stronger position. But, he said he looks forward to helping bring massive attention to WWE, Cena, and WrestleMania in the New York market.

"What I'm talking about is being able to go back to the WWE and give back to the business, which is in my blood and has allowed me a platform to perform which then, 12 years ago, allowed me to make he transition to Hollywood," Rock said. "So the scenario I've dreamed of is that I'm able to go back, become WWE champion, go into the what is considered the biggest marketplace in the world, which is the New York City area, at MetLife Stadium and headline WrestleMania as champion and give back to the business, the fans, the company, and their number one hero. So I couldn't have asked for a better scenario and we're going to have a blast."

What about match quality working with Cena in the WM29 main event? Rock said, "I think we're going to have a great match and my hope is that it's going to be a classic."

Re: I'll Be Honest I Think Vince Is Gonna Let The Rock Go Over Cena Again At WM29.

I think this forum would explode with Rock hate if that happened.

And I'll tell you all something, I'd love it if Rock beat Cena again, LOVE IT.
+rep

completely honest to goodness bottom line 150,000% truth

if Vince McMahon in his age, adheres to the golden rule of Wrestling.. since it began this business has always followed 1 rule..

send the fans home happy

The Rock would walk out of Wrestlemania as champion

you wouldn't be the only one happy, 99% of wrestling fans would also LOVE IT

for the life of me, I simply cannot see Cena beating Rock, just the thought of it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Re: John Cena and The Rock have sold me on watching their match after that amazing pr

All of you retarded apes being sold on WM is just pathetic. :lmao

Here take this: Cena wins, Undertaker wins, Triple H wins. I know the fucking results without paying 70$ to watch this bullshit RematchMania.

The only quality match on the card is Punk/Taker which will probably be MOTY but still I wont pay 70$ to watch one fucking good match out off 10 and plus I already know the winner.

Have fun being sold though, I hope you don't cry much when you figure out that Santa doesn't exist too. :lmao :lmao

All of you are the cancer of this community because with the superstars that WWE has in the roster and with somewhat decent booking we could have a 100x better product but noooo, you take the shit they give you every monday and you even eat it and say that it tastes good.

Rock vs Austin 2 was a rematch. A lot of people paid to see that. Same goes with Taker vs Shawn. Taker vs Triple H. Bret vs Shawn to a lesser extent

How sad, that you decide to buy a match based on whos winning or not

Re: Official The Rock vs. John Cena Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption, TWICE IN A LIFE

Rock and Cena are 2 for 2 so far this year. Absolutely riveting stuff. Fantastic promo by both of them. They made me care about their match and at the end of the day that's what it's all about. For the third time lol...

Fuck. Rock and Cena go and do THAT. Wow. That was absolutely fantastic from both of them. Embarrassing that people can't give props to both guys because they both brought it and both made that segment what it was. Money promo all the way. Rock and Cena may not have interacted all that much this year but the 2 promos they have delivered fucking KILL everything they have ever done in the past. Riveting TV and Jesus fuck, Cena heeling it up made me like a child. So damn smart of WWE to tease us with this, even if it isn't going to happen, watching Cena teeter on the edge is just brilliant. This wasn't good guy John Cena. This was an honest, slightly pompous and arrogant John Cena and I loved it. Rock was on fire and proved why he's one of the best to ever hold a mic and the addition of the legends was perfectly done. There's throwing bells and whistles at things for no reason but all the questions served a purpose and everything felt important. The passion, intensity and emotion from both Cena and Rock put the whole thing over the top and I can't believe I'm saying this but I most definitely fucking care about this match now. I care and I'm looking forward to it. Well done Rock, well done Cena and well done WWE for getting something right. I can't say enough about how awesome that was.

Re: The Rock vs Cena Promo

Not surprised most of the negative reception to this promo come from Punk marks who cannot accept the fact that this opening act for the rematch already blew away anything Rock and Punk did 2 months prior.
Who do you think is being the mark right now? Geez.

I'm a huge fan of The Rock, and a once member of the Chain-Gang. That promo on RAW was disappointing for me, it was even worse than my low expectations. I actually enjoyed their work last year, the storyline made sense and there seemed to be some real beef going. This storyline clearly makes no sense whatosever, and it is painful to not see Rocky calling Cena out on his bullshit (what was fun last year was seeing Rock say all of the things we felt about Cena, as a face, and get away with it). The storyline is bullshit, and neither seem into it.

I think Cena suits Rock as an opponent better than Punk, at least. Punk was camping it up as an old-school diabolical villain, and Rocky made the mistake of going preachy and righteous, which really is not his strong suit. Rock is at his best when he is acting like a cocky jackass. As for Cena, I have no clue what is left for him anymore, other than to turn heel. His face schick is so stale now it is unbelievable.

Re: John Cena and The Rock have sold me on watching their match after that amazing pr

Can those 2 make up for lost time or what?! Rock killed it tonight like usual. Cena finally snapped, and his facial expressions are top notch. A lot better of an actor than I thought he would be. The "You can't see me" from Cena with that old chain-gang expression takes me back. I'm really glad they got physical too, that short brawl told a great story. Great segment, I loved it. I'm sold on the main event entirely. Just when you think they can't get better, they do!

Re: Official The Rock vs. John Cena Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption, TWICE IN A LIFE

They may have only had a couple segments together in the last month but the feud this year is more interesting than last year imo. Last year had all of that shoot bs mixed in with the iconic first clash meeting between the two, but I find the little story they are telling now while flawed is more intriguing build. Rock and Cena's character portrayals in their interactions has put the angle over more for me. It's not just hype. They have history together and you can feel the weight or importance of this match through the animosity produced in the promos on Raw.

THE ROCK IS READY TO ROLL AS WRESTLEMANIA NEARS

The Rock is ready to roll into WrestleMania as a dual champion.

He's the reigning king of the box office after "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" stormed to $40.5 million over the weekend to become the No. 1 movie.

And in the ring, he's walking tall as WWE champ.

Everything Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson touches these days turns to gold, from the film franchises he whips into blockbusters, to the diamond-encrusted WWE championship belt he drapes over his shoulder before he hits the ring to lay the smack down one more time in his triumphant return to the company.

Johnson is set for his latest starring role when he defends his title against John Cena at WrestleMania 29 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The main event rematch is the pinnacle for the sports entertainment powerhouse and one of the most popular spectator sports in America.

"It's the biggest show of my career," the 40-year-old Johnson said.

Johnson has the sequel market cornered, flexing his box office muscle in franchise films as "Fast Five," ''The Mummy Returns," ''Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" and now "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."

He's ready to prove another one of his sequels can top the original when he faces Cena on Sunday.

In his first singles match since 2004, Johnson defeated Cena last year at Sun Life Stadium in Miami in a WrestleMania main event billed as "Once in a Lifetime."

Well, that tagline may as well be "Once a Year."

Hard to believe a professional wrestling company would stretch truth in advertising, but the two became set for a return bout once Rock beat C.M. Punk at January's Royal Rumble to win the championship and Cena won the 30-man Rumble to become the No. 1 contender.

Johnson said the rematch made sense because it was still the biggest money match the promotion could offer in the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.

He had the numbers to back it up. With one full year of hype, Rock-Cena drew 1.217 million pay-per-view buys last year and another 78,363 packed Sun Life Stadium on the strength of the match. Much like the Final Four or World Series, the WrestleMania brand is almost guaranteed to fill a stadium before a match is announced. It's getting fans at home to plunk down at least $59.95 for the standard definition broadcast that can truly stuff the coffers.

"Rock means revenue. Rock means ratings," WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said. "The Rock is great, not just a great performer, but he is a great ambassador for this business."

With shows tailored around The Rock, the last two WrestleManias have topped 1 million buys. The WWE expects to hit that mark again Sunday.

The Rock had a wrestling ring set up wherever he was on location filming movies, his private training camps a part of the grind necessary to keep his spot as the biggest dual threat in entertainment.

"I always knew he loved the business," Cena said. "He loves it so much now that he really is the busiest person in the history of the WWE. He's everywhere at once. He can do everything and still compete as WWE champion."

Rock was in position to call his shots and he picked Cena for his return feud over Punk or any other superstar on the roster. For all the trash talking in the ring, there's a deep respect in real life between two wrestlers who know how to carry the global sports entertainment empire.

"He's been the No. 1 guy in the company for many years now, and has managed to maintain a genuine, optimistic love for the business," Johnson said. "Often times, inherently, what the business creates is pessimism over time, and unhappiness. John has been able to stay above that, not get lost in the garbage, and not get lost in the noise. He's very focused, very committed. There's an X-factor about John that moves an audience."

Rock is among four key stars — including Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and Triple H — who work a scaled back schedule with main event slots waiting for their returns. The four have combined for five pay-per-view matches since last year's WrestleMania, the kind of work-rate wrestlers on a punishing 200-day-a-year schedule could appreciate more than any five-star match. Amid gripes Rock takes a headline position that could go to a full-time wrester, Cena said Johnson has earned that spot.

"I wish we had one guy with 10 percent of his vision and his aspiration," he said. "When he gets a small opportunity, he kicks the damn door down and owns the horse. Often times here, we have superstars that remind me of a hamster on the treadmill and those are the guys that usually complain. I don't take too kindly to them. I'm fortunate Rock's here and I'm glad he's here. He can show up whenever he wants."

Johnson said he hasn't decided if he'll participate in WrestleMania 30 next year in New Orleans. With a loss Sunday, the anniversary card could set up an epic rubber match. Then again, the WWE would be foolish to leave a Rock-Brock Lesnar bout on the table without a payoff at a major pay-per-view event.

If Rock returns, he'll need to set up that ring for training camps in Budapest, where he'll head after WrestleMania to start shooting "Hercules."

Not a wrestling fan? Hate action movies? Well, you've probably seen Johnson pop up the last six months everywhere from a starring role in a Super Bowl milk commercial, or on TV hosting his new reality show, or maybe on your mobile device with the game, "Rockpocalypse."

The Rock sure does know his role — to entertain in every available forum.

"I never feel that it's too much because I'm aware of the plan. I put the plan together," he said, laughing. "But in that, comes really incredible challenges that require a lot of people to embrace the vision of it, to support it.

"It was one of those things where you take a risk and, fortunately, it's paid off."

He has the WWE title belt around his waist and a No. 1 movie to prove it.

Re: Official The Rock vs. John Cena II Discussion Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption

It's just really disgusting as the "E" continues to push this re-match that NOBODY except members of the WWE "Universe" (which by the way proves there isn't any intelligent life out in their universe anyways) who are either "fat chicks" or "children below the age of 13"

That all aside the other thing that really gets me is show their promoting as the "BIGGEST" re-matches of all time, I say NEH-NEH.

No the "BIGGEST" re-match took place on the show BEFORE WM XIX, yep.....


ROCK vs. HOGAN II



Took place on the PPV before WrestleMaina and you know what?



PEOPLE WANTED TO SEE IT!!!!!!


They didn't have to waste a Royal Rumble & the WWE Title to get these two back together in the same ring. They just did, now while the finish was "screwy" at best these two still put on a solid match, below their WM encounter but that's what happens when you get the "BIGGEST" re-match it will never be as big as the first time. (There are exceptions)

My point is if Rock/Hogan isn't big enough to main event a second WM what in the HELL makes Cena/Rock II any better? Answer....NOTHING. This match shouldn't be on anther WM let alone Main Eventing, period. We've been there & done that, does a Cean win a 13th WWE title win mean ANYTHING?

NOPE

In fact you could say the WWE basically sacrificed the Rumble & the WWE Title in order to try & make this the "BIGGEST" re-match. But at the end of the day all they've done is try to put lipstick on a pig at the end of the day it's still a pig. In this case all this match is Rock returning the favor to Cena. He's not passing anything or giving Cena any rub because he's ALREADY AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, eight years of being on top and he still needs a win? Please Vince get your head out of your ass & wake up.

Hell this years WM could have been special, infact with a little time, common sense & planning the WWE could have cashed in on two re-matches people WANTED to see.

It should have all began back @ ER where Lesner should have KNOCKED CENA THE FUCK OUT!!!!! Thus giving Brok his win and allowing Cena to get some time off. Allowing the Big Johnny feud with CM Punk to begin. Let Punk become the baby face against the bad boss, you give Albert his push against Punk from May-June, then have Daniel Bryan come over to Raw & feud with Punk over the Summer with AJ & such. Then eventually have him turn with Heyman screwing Ryback and all that jazz giving way to the 365 title reign storyline, throw in a feud with Ryback, Orton & Rey as his victims towards WM.

Now we of course get the whole Lesner/HHH thing, with a win & putting Cena on the shelf "kayfabe" wise Lesner destroys Hunter over the summer. Then the one man who needs to save WWE is none other than the Rock who enters himself in the ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH, no title shot yet. Then while Punk feuds with Sheamy lets say for the WWE title, you have the Rock promoting the Rumble when CENA RETURNS TO RAW. No words just the Rock & Cena staring at one anther

Then the Rumble comes, Punk retains and we get the Rock/Cena standoff in the rumble & a repate of 1994 where both Cena & Rock eliminate the other causing a TIE.

Now you can either go one of 3 ways heading into WM

Scenario 1
With a tie at the Rumble, it's announced Cena/Rock II at the Chamber PPV winner faces Punk. During the match Heyman along with Lesner SCREWS Cena. So now at WM we get Punk/Rock for the WWE Title & Cena/Lesner II. Then of cource we could do a Cena/Rock II at ER for the WWE Title with Cena getting back his "desperate" win

Scenario 2
With a tie at the Rumble, it's announced Cena/Rock II at the Chamber PPV winner faces Punk. Cena beats the Rock CLEAN, but after the match both Lesner & Punk attack. Giving way to Rock/Lesner II & Cena/Punk III for the WWE Title. Then you could do Cena/Rock II at ER where Cena wins too. ugh

Scenario 3
With a tie at the Rumble, it's announced Cena/Rock II at the Chamber PPV winner faces Punk. During Cena/Rock II Punk, Lesner & Heyman get BOTH Rocky & Cena DQ'ED. All breaks loose in the ring and BAM Hunter returns & cleans house with Cena & Rock. Thus setting up a 3 way for the WWE, lets say an Elimination match so Cena can redeem himself twice, ugh and then we get Hunter/Lesner II as well.

I keep Taker away and save him for his eventual match with Cena @ WM XXX cause we really don't need Taker this year.

But there you go, re-matches booked that people actually WANT to see.

Re: Why does everyone bash on "twice in a lifetime"?

Because Rock and Cena are grown men acting like children, embarassing themselves on national television. They'll be cutting terrible promos for weeks, culminating in one of the worst, most poorly worked WrestleMania main events ever, just like last year. Nobody wants Cena to win the title again or beat Rock, either, that's a disaster waiting to happen. You should also never have the same match 2 years in a row at Mania, even Austin and Rock never did that.

Re: Official The Rock vs. John Cena II Discussion Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption

I hope they at least get physical a bit in the build up to Wrestlemania 29, unlike last year. Hogan-Rock got physical in their build up to their match at Wrestlemania 18, I see no reason why Rock and Cena can't do the same. Cena just shows a more aggressive side in the rivalry, putting over how he really needs to get redemption at Wrestlemania 29. It'd go well with their match tagline of "Greatness vs. Redemption" this year.

I won't be able to stomach five weeks of Rock and Cena trying to one-up each other with promos every week.

The Rock vs Cena Promo




You know this is probably worse than last year's ass kissing fest by them.
Cena can't sell a promo no matter how bad he has been put down by The Rock, being called full off crap and Cena just shrugs it off like it's nothing, and before this promo happened I wanted Cena to beat the Rock, now after this promo happened. I'm swaying the other around.

I Hope the Rock goes back-to-back wins against Cena, I really don't buy this "Underdog, Redemption" Story they have just going with Cena. The feud has become yet another ass-kiss face vs face promo that I just can't stand. I think a heel turn will save this promo.

Anywaaaayyy, Discuss.

Re: The Rock vs Cena Promo.

I was ready to bitch about it too but that segment was AWESOME. You people need to stop nitpicking. Cena smiling I wasn't even that bothered by and both guys did awesome, a lot better than any of their segments together last year. Rock was ARROGANT and COCKY, aka the Rock we all know and love. This segment had in intensity what their previous segments totally lacked.

Solid promo from both. Anyone hating on it just doesn't like Rock and/or Cena and can't be non-biased. I've grown tired of Cena and even I'll admit he did a good job tonight. Rock? Great job, literally laughing at the predictable haterade that was bound to happen after this promo.

Re: The Rock vs Cena Promo

I really enjoyed the promo. I think the only people going over the top in criticising it are Punk marks. I mean for some reason when Punk uses a line from Nas, its amazing, when Cena uses one from Tyson its stupid. And could you imagine if Punk had delivered that Lance Armstrong line, I don't think I could count the amount of "CM GOD" posts we'd have had.

Proof and Evidence that John Cena Will turn Heel at Wrestlemania 29

Look at the promo from raw and tell me he's not turning heel.

lets examine,



Lets start off in the beginning with fact that Cena says that Wrestlemania 28 sent his life into a tailspin, obvious if his life went down the drain because of that match he's going do anything it takes to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Then at 2:10 he says he's not throwing this chance away, hmm.

Then please look at 5:40 and on and please try to tell me he's not turning heel, this is uncharacteristic of cena, he usually laughs this stuff off, he has not just anger is his face but hate.

Remember Wrestlemania 17?

Look at the signs,

austin returned and tryed all throughout 2000 to get the wwf title and revenge, and when he finds the guy who masterminded it, he loses to him at no way out in '01, then look at the promo with austin/rock the day after no way out 2001,



Look at 8:43, it was the EXACT same promo at the end. come one guys cena is turning heel.

most likely vince wants to redo the austin heel turn because it failed in 2001, this time he wants to do it right.

John Cena is winning at Wrestlemania 29, but he ain't winning clean. if not then cena will once again... lose.

Cutting all the excuses, "he's too popular", austin and hogan were popular.

he had multiple chances, sure about that?

Nexus - it was 2010, PG era was new, they had nobody else, and wwe made it obvious that he wasn't turning(he was at his 2nd colored t shirt at the time, pg cena was fresh)

2011 - they were building to wrestlemania 28, impossibility

Embrace the hate, just a tease, if he was turning heel, we wouldn't have known, it would've been a surprise with minor hints.

Wrestlemania 28 - it was miami and rock just came back, no way was cena winning and no signs of him turning(he wasn't mad after the loss at wm 27, and wasn't as desperate, he was like rocky balboa in this match with the I need to win, etc)

Wrestlemania 29 - obvious heel stuff here from the evidence, cena is desperate, life has become ruin(in storyline), look at his face at the end, the rock exposed him, he's had a bad year, is acting like a whiner instead of the cena we know that dust himself off and tries again, this cena is angry about his loss, and had hate on his face when the rock told him how it is.

UPDATE 1, March 11, 2013 - via http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_69170.shtml


"Cena said Perkins was right. "Mine eye and heart are at immortal war," he said. Cena said he watches Mania as a fan, so he will be caught up in the event, but his heart wants to whip The Rock's ass. So, he's at this war with himself because he wants to win the WWE Title at WM29. Cena said he will be there and his heart and soul will go into that match. He said, "I promise you, you won't believe your eyes." This drew applause from the crowd after WWE wow'ed the techies describing how an entertainment brand is incorporating social media into the fabric of their company. "

UPDATE 2

Preview to Rock/Cena II Wrestlemania 29 ends with the picture in my signature(Cena with a heel face),

UPDATE 3

New John Cena T-Shirt sells before mania, if he was turning heel they'd try to sell as much merch while he's face.

UPDATE 4

the segment with Prime Time players, he proves a heel turn,



watch 3:45 Darren Young says he's going to make Cena "cry" like at Wrestlemania 28 and look at Cena's face and reaction.

Re: Official The Rock vs. John Cena Thread: Greatness vs. Redemption, TWICE IN A LIFE

What I tell you guys before? Cena's turning heel, and I'm not some troll who claims to "know backstage stuff", I just looked at the proof and examined carefully with logic.

Key Points,

1. Cena never had the Opportunity to turn Heel Before,

Anything before 2010 doesn't count as 1, PG era was brand new and the current cena superman style character just started in 2008-2009ish and 2010 was about the middle of the pg era.

So we start with 2010.

in 2010 he beat batista and had nothing to gain(when he had the orange shirt), was at his height.

Nexus - it was 2010, PG era was new, they had nobody else, and wwe made it obvious that he wasn't turning(he was at his 2nd colored t shirt at the time, pg cena was fresh)

2011 - they were building to wrestlemania 28, impossibility

Embrace the hate, just a tease, if he was turning heel, we wouldn't have known, it would've been a surprise with minor hints.

Wrestlemania 28 - it was miami and rock just came back, no way was cena winning and no signs of him turning(he wasn't mad after the loss at wm 27, and wasn't as desperate, he was like rocky balboa in this match with the I need to win, etc)

However now he does.

Wrestlemania 29 - obvious heel stuff here from the evidence, cena is desperate, life has become ruin(in storyline), look at his face at the end, the rock exposed him, he's had a bad year, is acting like a whiner instead of the cena we know that dust himself off and tries again, this cena is angry about his loss, and had hate on his face when the rock told him how it is.

So there ya go he never had the chance to turn heel

2, In the promo on raw he was obviously angry and had hate on his face(not obvious tease like "embarace" the hate but for real this time, rock compares him to the phony lance armstrong, etc,

Look at the promo from raw and tell me he's not turning heel.

lets examine,



Lets start off in the beginning with fact that Cena says that Wrestlemania 28 sent his life into a tailspin, obvious if his life went down the drain because of that match he's going do anything it takes to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Then at 2:10 he says he's not throwing this chance away, hmm.

Then please look at 5:40 and on and please try to tell me he's not turning heel, this is uncharacteristic of cena, he usually laughs this stuff off, he has not just anger is his face but hate.

Remember Wrestlemania 17?

Look at the signs,

austin returned and tryed all throughout 2000 to get the wwf title and revenge, and when he finds the guy who masterminded it, he loses to him at no way out in '01, then look at the promo with austin/rock the day after no way out 2001,



Look at 8:43, it was the EXACT same promo at the end. come one guys cena is turning heel.

most likely vince wants to redo the austin heel turn because it failed in 2001, this time he wants to do it right.
and

3, The Rock will be at extreme rules, having him lose twice cleanly is impossible, there is nothing to gain and it's damaging so, only 2 possibilities.

1, Cena wins uncleanly via heel turn at wrestlemania, then at the rematch in extreme rules, loses again uncleanly(like wrestlemania 17 and night after)

2, The Rock wins again at wrestlemania and cena wins the rematch

if the rock loses he then has to face Cena again, he cannot face someone else because of the wwe title rematch clause, so those are the only two possibilities, the latter is most likely not happening and all the evidence points to 1, therefore watch out because john cena is turning heel and remember I wasn't looking for a heel turn, I thought cena would just win cleanly at mania, but with promo on raw and The rock being at extreme rules, cenas turning heel.


you disagree? then you must refute each point, saying he's the golden boy means nothing because austin was the golden boy in 01 yet they turned him heel for no reason, when the rock was leaving after mania 17 and with no other babyface on par. with cena there is no excuse, he will sell more t shirts as a heel(nwo), and his kid fans are probably teenagers now guys, my 15(going to be 16 year old brother was a cena fan in 2003/2004(thugnomics) as kid, now hes entering adulthood and he doesn't even care about cena,

the kids from 2009-2011 are probably also now 13-17


EDIT: Even more proof, wwe's june ppv will probably be called 'payback', http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...tedly-name-upcoming-june-pay-per-view-payback

come on guys, never before has cena had evidence for a heel turn, never, only because people wanted it or "felt" it, now that it's evident, everyones saying "impossible" etc, vince got you all, that was probably why he waited so long for a heel turn so you wouldn't expect it.
