#2. No change to the attire and the theme music

There had been rampant speculation that just like The Rock's heel turn and the new Final Boss character last year, John Cena would also come out to a different theme song and in new attire.

However, after coming out with the same theme music, in his classic jorts and t-shirt, Cena simply denied he would be making any change for the WWE Universe. Further, the legend also confirmed he would be continuing the same attire and the theme song, stating that he wouldn't change it because he didn't need to and wouldn't cater to the fans either.

Just after aligning with The Final Boss at Elimination Chamber, many feel the 16-time world champion John Cena has started sounding like The Rock. During his promo to get the show going tonight, Cena took massive shots at the WWE Universe, something The Final Boss enjoys doing in his promos.

Cena not only called the fans 'pathetic' and 'awful,' but also took a shot at them for not supporting him throughout these years. The Franchise Player hinted that the frustration over his hard work to get results not going his way was the reason for his heel turn.
