The WWE content director, Paul Levesque, withdrew the curtain about the idea that John Cena would become the bad for at least the beginning of his farewell tour of the company.
Dino put on the side of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Elimination Chamber and participated in a beating of Cody Rhodes after winning his game to hit his ticket to Wrestlemania 41. It was a shocking moment that left fans of professional struggle and sports fans in general, stunned.

Levesque, better known as Triple H during his career at the Ring in WWE, appeared in “High Performance” and talked about the decision to convert to Cena Heel. Levesque reminded Wrestling Cena in the late 2000s and fans got bored of their “hustle, loyalty, respect.”
When Cena announced his last race, Levesque said he could have done the easy, but decided to play with the idea of completely converting the dinner character.
“In my mind … the sure thing is a one -year tour where you go to the city, and he makes his best successes, and it is safe, and it is easy, and it is fun. But, as an interpreter, you are making the movements,” he said. “You are playing the same concert that you have played a million times. People love, but I have seen it. It’s good, it’s all those things, safe, easy, fun.
“But I went to John and told him what would happen if, what would happen if we threw the lever that nobody wanted to throw and what would happen if we turned your heel because for me he felt like, if you never do, boy, you simply let that hang there … Then, for me, we can write for this guy who has been the good guy of a good guy for more than 20 years. We get it badly and how do you look at it?” “

Levesque said he reviewed what happened exactly in the elimination chamber, which took place in March. Rhodes is asked to sell his soul to the rock, to the sides with fans, apparently congratulate for dinner, and then, dinner kicks him in the groin.
“The bad ones have to be justified in the ‘Why.’ It has to make sense and can be biased, ‘Well, that makes sense.
“Then, in John’s mind, for more than 20 years, ‘I have done everything in the right way, however, you have told me that I stink, you have booed me and I said that I am super dinner, I cannot fight, I only have five movements, I, this, that, that, like all the things that I have overcome for 25 years, now I can do that and be bitter. In your last career, in your desire to have a last one. Well as it used to be.
Levesque said Cena told him that he did not believe that he would have gone to the last Hurra, but said: “I love it.”
He added that Cena was prepared for the challenge of making the crowd hate him.
Cena received a lot of boos when it appeared in “Monday Night Raw” several times while the company was in Europe. Fans blamed for creating the person who is now, promised to “ruin wrestling” and win their 17th record championship.

It will culminate in a match for the undisputed WWE championship on Sunday in Wrestlemania 41 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Dinner will also appear in “Friday Night SmackDown” at the T-Mobile Arena before the event.
