To be fair to Cena, this is a new era, where fans are more looped in than ever to the pro wrestling process. Everyone seems to know the heel turn can’t last, perhaps ending as soon as the summer at SummerSlam. That way, the tail end of his goodbye to the sport can be as a good guy again.

John Cena's actions just moments after WWE Backlash went off the air have sparked speculation over whether he is "second-guessing" his decision to turn heel earlier this year. The 17-time world champion turned his back on the fans after betraying Cody Rhodes on orders of The Rock at Elimination Chamber in March.
