Few people in WWE history are capable of receiving more of a polarizing response than John Cena. The face of the WWE for more or less 10 years, Cena has been at the top of the company since he won his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21. Since then, Cena has played the role of the never-say-die superhero, always overcoming all obstacles and defending the virtues of Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. However, many fans think that he has become stale, with a growing number of them firmly believing that he should turn heel. They think that John Cena the good guy has long overstayed his welcome, and that a new character should take his place. This view is echoed by many, including those who believe that he will turn heel at Survivor Series. Even Cena himself made remarks about the idea, confirming to his fan base that the Cena we see every week is here to stay. That said, there will always be a dedicated group of detractors who will keep on dreaming for the day that he does turn heel. However, given the current state of things in the WWE, a heel turn by John Cena isnt just unlikely; its virtually impossible. Here are the five biggest reasons why that is.
