John Cena says he wasn't allowed to turn heel in WWE

The Cenation Leader is one of the biggest names in the history of the wrestling industry. He's been a babyface for a long time, as he's considered a role model and hero by many fans.

Speaking to Howard Stern on the Howard Stern Show, John Cena stated that he had creative freedom in WWE, but he wasn't allowed to turn heel.

"I had complete creative freedom over how I could curate my character, but I couldn't turn bad. That limits what you're capable of. Playing the same character over and over again for 15 years, every week, without an offseason, I still love it, and I still do, that's why I go back. Then, someone gives you an opportunity like, 'You want to be this weird, awkward, naked guy?' 'F**k yeah, that sounds great, let's do it,'" said Cena.

John Cena competed in his last match at Crown Jewel last year in Saudi Arabia, where he lost to Solo Sikoa in a singles match.
