16-time World Champion John Cena shocked the WWE Universe when he turned heel at the Elimination Chamber 2025 Premium Live Event. Cena's heel turn was left unexplained by the superstar as he did not utter a single word in the press conference. However, he has since sent a cryptic message.

At Elimination Chamber, the superstar who is currently on a Farewell Tour turned heel by attacking Cody Rhodes. Cena sold his soul to The Rock and left Rhodes in a pool of blood. After this attack on The American Nightmare, Cena uploaded an Instagram post.

The post contained an image of Harvey Dent aka Two-Face from 'The Dark Night,' who is famous for the quote, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Since sharing this post, the WWE Legend has now uploaded another Instagram post. This time, sharing the iconic picture of Heath Ledger's Joker from the same film.
