Mick Foley expressed surprise at John Cena's recent heel turn, his first in 22 years, during an exclusive interview. As Cena prepares for a championship match at Wrestlemania 41 against Cody Rhodes, Foley praises Cena's believable transformation, attributing it to his acting experience. This heel turn adds an exciting dynamic to the possibility of Cena winning his record 18th World Title, surpassing Ric Flair. Foley notes that Cena's nuanced performance conveys genuine emotion without being exaggerated, enhancing the overall impact of his character shift in the wrestling landscape.
"I was surprised. I had heard about it; I think I was on the road when it happened. I watched it back and we were marveling about how we knew it was John Cena, but he'd almost taken on a transformation. He almost looked like a different human being..."
"It didn't look overblown. It wasn't like he was playing to the top row of the upper level, which can look silly in high definition. It was a magnificent turn."
