Did John Cena Turn Heel? R-Truth Evaluates Childhood Hero’s Betrayal

John Cena shocked the world by turning heel at WWE Elimination Chamber: Toronto, kicking off a rollercoaster of emotions for fellow WWE veteran R-Truth. Truth has often seen John as a childhood hero, which has made Cena’s betrayal of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect all the more difficult.

On social media, several wrestlers reacted in shock to Cena’s heel turn. When Brandi Rhodes made her views on Cena’s assault on her husband very clear, Truth shared that fans shouldn’t be quick to judge the 16-time WWE World Champion.

On Instagram, Truth acknowledged that images of Cena attacking Cody Rhodes were shared online, but cast doubt over their genuineness.

Hours later, it appears that Truth is starting to accept the sad reality of what happened in Toronto. On X, Truth changed his header and profile picture to reflect on Cena’s heel turn.
