Speaking on the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, the WWE Chief Content Officer reflected on Cena’s transformation, emphasizing that his shift to the darkish aspect wasn’t only a random twist—it changed into orchestrated through none other than “The Final Boss” himself, The Rock.
“His person has been the ultimate good guy for 20 years. The Rock, who has evolved this ‘Final Boss’ personality, isn’t most effective at the TKO board in real existence but additionally wields that electricity in WWE storylines. He just used some of that affect, and all at once, John Cena grew to become heel, have become a terrible man for the primary time, and took out any other beloved superstar, Cody Rhodes. This turned into one in every of the largest tales we’ve ever executed, and within a few hours, that moment had over 100 million views on social media.” (3:11:34 – 3:12:27)
