- WWE shared IShowSpeed’s reaction to Cena’s heel turn
- Speed was last seen in a WWE ring at this year’s Royal Rumble
- Videos of Cena’s heel turn have generated tens of millions of views on social media
IShowSpeed is ready for a return to WWE. Albeit not to gain revenge on Bron Breakker. But instead to help WWE Champion Cody Rhodes take down a freshly heel turned John Cena.
Cena stunned the world at WWE’s Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Toronto, last week, when he turned heel for the first time in over 20 years. The 16-time World Champion low blowed Cody Rhodes and, with the help of The Rock and Travis Scott, left Rhodes a bloody, beaten mess.
The one time Doctor of Thuganomics will challenge the American Nightmare for his WWE Title at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, next month. The event is set to be Cena’s final appearance as an in-ring competitor at WrestleMania after he announced his retirement, last year. Cena is currently undertaking his retirement tour throughout 2025.
And it is with this retirement tour in mind that Cena’s heel turn shocked so many people. Videos of the Peacemaker star’s turn have generated tens of millions of views across social media over the past week so, naturally, IShowSpeed had to have his reaction to the monumental moment.
Staring on in disbelief during a streaming session, Speed chimed in, “I got to balnce the power, bro. I got to balance the power. Ain’t no way I lived to the day that John Cena turned into the bad guy. Ain’t no way John Cena turned into the bad guy. John Cena has never been a bad guy a day in his life. I might gotta put him in his place, bro.”
Given that the last time IShowSpeed stepped into a WWE ring, during this year’s Royal Rumble, he was almost speared into 2026, we’re not so sure he would balance the power in quite the way he is imagining.
