Former NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony is yet another person who was shocked by John Cena‘s surprise heel turn.
Weeks later, the wrestling world and beyond continue to talk about John Cena’s heel turn; he attacked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and aligned with The Rock at WWE Elimination Chamber.
During a recent episode of his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Anthony — who has been a long-time fan of Cena — said that he didn’t like that Cena “switched up” and turned heel, and it left him feeling mad.
“I don’t like how he switched up. When Hulk Hogan switched up, I was pissed. As a fan, I was hurt when he did that,” said Anthony. “I understand with Cena doing that, fans are hurt. He’s a soldier, he was Captain America. He got tired of wearing jorts.” (H/t Fightful)
John Cena has yet to make his first official comments since turning heel at WWE’s Elimination Chamber. However, Cena is set to appear on the March 17th episode of WWE RAW, where he and Cody Rhodes will likely interact for the first time since the premium live event.
