"I was in my feels about it. That is all I know. Just like everybody else. Look what you gave up, you went back on your word, Uce. You don't ever do that, yeet," said Jey Uso.

Bianca Belair admitted that she was rooting for John Cena in the Men's Elimination Chamber match and was dumbfounded by his decision.

Former WWE employee suggests John Cena is being paid extra to turn heel

Jonathan Coachman recently suggested that WWE may have struck a deal with John Cena regarding his heel turn.

Speaking on the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Coachman stated that the company may have offered Cena more money to turn heel. The veteran noted that Cena would likely be losing a lot of money in merchandise sales as a result of his character change.

"I'm also guessing that Cena, when they decided to do this, Tommy, they said, 'Hey, we're gonna pay you X amount of dollars extra,' cause they know he's gonna lose the merch money in the process," he said. [From 42:13 to 42:23]
