At Elimination Chamber, John Cena did the unthinkable. The sixteen-time world champion betrayed Cody Rhodes, selling his soul to The Rock. In the final year of his illustrious professional career, Cena turned heel. Moreover, The Cenation Leader broke a Guinness World Record in the process.
According to the publication, Cena now holds the record for the longest babyface run before turning heel. The last time fans saw the WWE legend in a dark persona was in 2003. As such, the Elimination Chamber ending marked the end of a 21-year run as the ultimate babyface of WWE for Cena. The Franchise Player also holds the world record for granting the most Make-A-Wishes.
After turning face two decades ago, Cena prospered as the poster boy of the Stamford-based promotion. Despite facing a polarizing fanbase, Cena stuck to being the good guy. However, the former United States Champion admitted to coming close to turning heel during his feud with The Rock.
Since reverting to part-time status, Cena slowly but eventually won the majority of the crowd support. Last year, the Peacemaker star announced that 2025 would be his final year as a WWE Superstar. As such, what transpired at Elimination Chamber came as a shocker, not only to the wrestling industry but also to the entire world.
From Shannon Sharpe berating Cena to Jon Stewart using the betrayal to explain geopolitics, that moment has sent the outside world into a frenzy. Meanwhile, WWE superstars have also voiced their opinion on John Cena since the heel turn last Saturday.
