5 ways WWE could make John Cena win his 17th world title

#1 John Cena turns heel to win his 17th title

This is the final chance to turn John Cena heel.

Is it too little too late for a John Cena heel turn?

That might happen if he returns for a final run in WWE. It's pretty much the company's final opportunity to do the unthinkable and turn the beloved babyface into a villain. There is a lot of scope for Cena to turn over to the dark side.

For starters, he was mentally and physically mauled by The Fiend at WrestleMania 36. John Cena's final actions in the Firefly Fun House Match saw him dress up as Hollywood Hulk Hogan and attack Bray Wyatt, who transformed into Huskus the Pig Boy. The 16-time world champion fell into the trap Wyatt set for him.

Cena could turn heel and cheat to win the WWE Championship, shocking fans in the process. Instead of the story being about The Fiend, he might go on a classic Hollywood heel run. The Rock did so in 2003, and it remains one of his greatest runs during his legendary WWE career.

The former rapper could take inspiration from The Great One and have one hell of a final run. John Cena could even become a part-time WWE Champion and defend the belt once every few months, citing his responsibilities as a big-time movie star. He would still carry the belt around.

The endgame to all of this would naturally be to build a new babyface megastar in WWE. While Drew McIntyre could establish himself as the top face in the company by beating Cena, other stars could also get the rub. Like Kevin Owens, Keith Lee, or Big E.

Turning heel for one final run would be John Cena's parting gift to the fans as he fulfills their ultimate wrestling desires.
