5 Reasons why this is the perfect time to turn John Cena heel

#4 WWE needs top heels

Lesnar is current WWE Universal Champion

Kevin Owens and the Miz – who’re practically upper mid carders that are sporadically elevated to the main event spot. Braun Strowman – who is very much a work in progress (and heavily cheered for picking on Roman Reigns). Bray Wyatt – who just isn’t believable after a string of high-profile losses. Brock Lesnar – who rarely shows up and when he does, wows everyone with his otherworldly athletic feats anyway.

Yes, you probably guessed it.

The WWE hardly boasts of any credible main event heels today.

And although the functioning of the industry has departed considerably from conventional diktat, we can still agree that the best way to get a babyface over with the crowd is by having a top-level heel put him over.

With so few of them around, however, is it any surprise that the most favourable reaction that Reigns received from the crowd was on the back of a 70-year-old Vince McMahon writing himself into the Authority storyline just to take a bump?

Tsk, tsk.

If ever the WWE needed John Cena to turn heel, now wouldn’t be a bad time at all.
