March 17, 2025

John Cena finally addressed his heel turn on the March 17th episode of WWE RAW.

Cena made his first appearance since his shocking heel turn on Monday’s show, which was held in Brussels, Belgium. He came to the ring in his usual hat, shirt, and jorts, and he had the same entrance music as well. Cena was greeted with thunderous boos, including a “Let’s go Cena, Cena sucks” split.

John Cena proceeded to deliver a heated message, as he said that the crowd was making this easy for him. He claimed that he had been the victim of an abusive relationship for 25 years.

Cena told the crowd that they had bullied him. He then said that he was not a babyface or a human. Cena stated that he was a human being, and the fans had been terrible to him. He highlighted how the fans had booed him for years, and no matter what he did, nothing was ever good enough to change their minds.

Cena went on to tell the fans that they should be ashamed of themselves, as all they did was take, and they didn’t care to ask how he felt. Cena told the fans that they had not earned new gear, as he didn’t dress like them, and they had not earned new entrance music either, as his time was now.

John Cena Breaks Up With The Fans

John Cena then said that the “Let’s Go Cena” people were just as bad as the “Cena sucks” people, as they had never supported him. He said that they had turned him into a toy, and they used him as an excuse for their failures of a life. Cena told the fans that he was breaking up with them, as he didn’t need them, and they did not matter to him.
