After Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025, WWE revealed the match graphic for the main event of WrestleMania 41. Many fans didn't like the graphic, as Cena's face looked odd.
Now, WWE has changed Cena's face in the graphic, and fans are pretty pleased with it. Check out the old as well as the new graphics and judge for yourself:

Cena's heel turn was a long time in the making. The last time he was a bad guy was way back in 2003. The WWE legend joined Team Angle at Survivor Series 2003, and the squad defeated Team Lesnar at the PLE. Cena joining Angle and the other babyfaces turned him into a fan favorite.
After over two decades, John Cena is a heel again. He will seemingly receive the loudest boos of his career when he comes out to the ring to face Cody Rhodes in an Undisputed WWE Championship match at The Show of Shows.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
