John Cena to turn heel and face major WWE star after 7 years at WrestleMania 40? Exploring potential swerve

John Cena is currently absent from the Stamford-based promotion due to his Hollywood commitments. The last time Cena appeared on WWE television was at Crown Jewel 2023 Premium Live Event, where The Cenation Leader got viciously squashed by the hands of Solo Sikoa in a singles bout.

However, Cena's recent actions led to the potential assumption that the 16-time World Champion might be finally planning for a heel turn upon his return. Additionally, The Champ might clash against Randy Orton in a gigantic showdown at WrestleMania 40. This probable belief stems from the recent social media posts of John Cena.

In three of his latest Instagram posts, The Cenation Leader initially posted a picture of an hourglass, which probably indicates that the time was running out. Later, he posted New World Order's merchandise and an image of young Randy Orton holding the WWE Championship.

For those unaware, The Viper has recently expressed his desire to face John Cena again, but this time at WrestleMania. It should be noted that John Cena and Randy Orton last wrestled against each other on February 7, 2017. Moreover, in his latest interview, Orton discussed how the match needed to have a championship on the line as well. Thus, Cena posting Orton's picture with the WWE Championship fuels the speculation of another epic showdown between the two megastars in the company.

As we are on the Road to WrestleMania 40, it will be intriguing to witness how things will unfold in the upcoming weeks and when The Cenation Leader will make his in-ring comeback.
