10 Reasons Why WWE Must Turn John Cena Heel Immediately
3. It Can Help Put Him In A Marquee Spot At WrestleMania
This spring, WWE will host the biggest WrestleMania of all time, and rumors are already rampant as to what the card will look like. A Reigns-Rollins-Lesnar triple threat match is expected, playing off the end of last year's show, and The Rock and Triple H have long been rumored to be tangling. Even Undertaker's opponent may be set, as allegedly Wyatt Family giant Braun Strowman is being groomed for the coveted WrestleMania spot (though presumably, cooler heads will prevail before April). John Cena, however, is suspiciously absent from the pre-Mania talk. Though some suspect that he'll end up as The Undertaker's opponent when it's all said and done, there's been no publicized talk to that effect. Truth be told, anything less would be a waste of the company's top full-time star on what's ostensibly its most important show ever. If Cena were to turn heel, it would open up a world of possibilities. Not only would a match with The Undertaker take on a more fascinating complexion, but any of the other rumored matches could be changed for the better - the Cena-Triple H match could happen, with Cena driving "The Game" out of the company, or he could even face Lesnar or The Rock again. A whole host of new, must-see options come into play with a Cena turn.
