Nikki Bella on John Cena's WWE heel turn

One of the most shocking moments in the history of professional wrestling happened during the Elimination Chamber 2025 Premium Live Event. John Cena won the men's Elimination Chamber match to punch his ticket to WrestleMania and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

In a shocking turn of events, Cena ended up selling his soul to The Rock and turned heel on The American Nightmare at the PLE. During a recent appearance on Women's Wrestling Talk, Nikki Bella reacted to John Cena's heel turn. She called it a gift from Cena to the fans and is excited to see what's to come in the future.

"It was done so well. And I think to end your farewell tour and turn into a character that the fans have wanted for so long, it's not only I think gonna be fun for him but how great for the fans? It's like a gift he's giving. You know what I mean? And I think it's so cool."

We will have to wait and see how a heel John Cena is presented when he makes his return on the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.
