The Rock later answered a bunch of media questions at the post-Elimination Chamber press conference and opened up about Cena's heel turn. Here's what he said:
"Storyline or no storyline. Fiction or not fiction. What you guys felt out there tonight was decades of what John has experienced, both as a performer and a human being. I've had conversations with John, I know what his 'why' is going into this, and it is so incredibly moving and compelling. He's talked to me about it, and 'this is why I'm doing what I'm doing tonight'."
Now that John Cena is FINALLY a heel, one wonders if he will succeed in taking down Cody Rhodes and become a 17-time world champion.

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.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
