WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan discusses John Cena‘s shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber.
Cena aligned with The Rock and attacked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at the end of the Premium Live Event. The turn electrified the wrestling world, as Cena was the face of WWE throughout his time with the company. Many fans compared the angle to Hulk Hogan’s iconic heel turn at WCW Bash at the Beach 1996.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso for Undisputed, Hulk Hogan discussed John Cena’s heel turn.
“Well, we definitely can see Cena now, can’t we?” Hogan said. “We know who he is now. He’s not signing autographs or doing what he’s been doing. That’s bigger than a wrestling angle.”
“It’s one of the best heel turns I’ve seen in a long, long time,” said Hogan. “All the major players were involved. I can’t say enough about The Rock, too–he was incredible. They did it right, I’ll tell you that.”

Hogan also looked forward to the match between Cena and Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 41 and said that it could potentially lead to an unforgettable night.
“It’s going to work as long as John wants to stay plugged in,” Hogan said. “I don’t know his schedule or how many days he’ll work, but he definitely has everyone’s attention. Plus, The Rock is involved, too. This could heat up more than anyone is expecting. It could be so hot that it’s crazy, which will lead to a WrestleMania match you’ll never forget.”
