Why John Cena never turned heel

John Cena and Vince McMahon

John Cena has done almost everything in WWE, and one thing that the fans always wanted to see happen but never did was him turning heel. Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio has revealed that there was one point when it almost happened.

He claims that Vince McMahon and Cena were sold on the heel turn, but at the very last moment, the WWE Chairman pulled the plug as the leader of Cenation was the #1 merchandise seller for the company.

There was even a time, I think most people know this, that Vince had decreed that John was going to turn heel and it had all been agreed to. John had agreed to it. John got his heel gear made and then Vince goes, Vince started thinking about it and he goes, 'It's f****** stupid, he's our #1 merchandise seller.

And at the point, it was like, he's never going to turn heel and he never did and I think it would have been completely stupid for him to do it
