25 Things You Didn't Know About John Cena
4. Cena Was The Last To Know About His Turn
This is astonishing, but it's true.
Triple H left John until last in the line when figuring out who was on board with his heel turn at Elimination Chamber 2025. 'The Game' mapped out his plan of action on the WWE Unreal series that aired on Netflix, and that clued fans in on exactly who found out about the booking first. You won't believe the order of those phone calls Hunter made.
Nick Khan was first, and he thought it was a fantastic idea. Then, after getting his blessing, Trips called old foe The Rock to find out what he was thinking. Incredibly, Hunter then dialled rapper Travis Scott (of all people) to let him know what'd be happening. After that, he got in touch with Cody Rhodes to lay everything out.
You might be wondering when John Cena's name is gonna pop up here. Y'know, the dude who was actually turning heel! He didn't even get the nod next - creative team members Ed Koskey and Bruce Prichard knew the scoop before John. He was legit the last person Hunter called about Chamber's booking. That sounds made up, but it's the truth.
If anything, you'd be forgiven for thinking the WWE boss would want to sound Cena out first and foremost. No, even Travis bloody Scott knew that JC would be going rogue before JC himself did. That, fellow fans, is frankly insane from Trips. He ran the risk of telling everyone and their auntie about the plans, then finding out that John didn't want to go through with it.
He did, clearly, but that's besides the point.
