WWE recently uploaded a YouTube video listing the top 30 heel turns in the company's history. The video featuring some of the most iconic moments, including Hulk Hogan joining the nWo, Seth Rollins betraying Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, Dominik Mysterio turning on his father, and more, with John Cena's heel turn at Elimination Chamber topping the list.

Former WWE Superstar Gregory Helms (fka The Hurricane) recently took to his X (fka Twitter) account to share an interesting take on the video which did not include a popular heel turn. The former Cruiserweight Champion noted that Andre the Giant turning on Hulk Hogan deserved one of the top spots on the list.

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan shares his take on John Cena's heel turn

The 16-time former World Champion John Cena finally turned to the dark side at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. After Cody Rhodes rejected The Rock's offer to be a 'corporate champion,' The Cenation Leader joined forces with The Final Boss and brutally took out The American Nightmare.

In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan shared his opinion on the shocking turning heel. The Hulkster noted that John Cena, not being a babyface anymore, would not be signing any autographs, which would be bigger than any storyline. He referred to it as one of the best heel turns he'd witnessed in a long time.

“Well, we definitely can see Cena now, can’t we?” said Hogan. “We know who he is now. He’s not signing autographs or doing what he’s been doing. That’s bigger than a wrestling angle. It’s one of the best heel turns I’ve seen in a long, long time. All the major players were involved. I can’t say enough about The Rock, too–he was incredible. They did it right, I’ll tell you that.” [H/T: Undisputed Substack]
