A couple of weeks ago on RAW in Brussels, Belgium, John Cena broke his silence on turning heel at Elimination Chamber. At the PLE, he sold his soul to the Final Boss, The Rock, and brutally attacked Cody Rhodes ahead of their Undisputed WWE Championship match at WrestleMania.
While Cena was booed by the fans in Brussels, some still showed their support for the 16-time WWE Champion. Among them was a young boy dressed from head to toe in Cena's gear.
The Leader of the Cenation singled him out as being part of the "toxic, dysfunctional relationship" he has with fans, and the kid's shocked reaction quickly went viral. Now, he's been tracked down and broken his silence on what happened.
"Since I was four years old, I have been a fan of John Cena," he said. "He’s been my hero for ten years now, and he’s my favorite superstar. I paid to see him. When he pointed at me, it was a source of pride for me that he pointed the finger at me because I didn’t know he was going to talk down to me."
"I understood he said toxic and dysfunctional, but it’s in his character as a heel, so I understand. For me, John Cena is still my hero," the boy continued. "John Cena pointed his finger at me, and I was honored. I didn’t know he was going to sh*t on me, but I understood he was in character. To me, John Cena will always be a hero."
"I’ve had conversations with John. We’re good buddies. I knew what his why was going into this," The Rock previously said of Cena's shocking heel turn. "And it is so incredibly moving and compelling. And it just grips you by the neck when he talks about it. Because he’s talked to me about it."
"And this is why I’m doing what I’m doing tonight. And again, storyline, no storyline, fiction, non-fiction. The greatest, I think, angles in wrestling is when it’s anchored in some sort of authenticity," he continued. "What you felt tonight, he didn’t say a word. Look, he came out and dropped the mic. That’s decades of a man who gave everything to this business that I love."
We're sure Cena will get one final babyface run before hanging up his jorts, and when he does, fingers crossed that he can make things right with this young fan.
