While it should’ve never gotten to this point, here we are—WWE needs to fix John Cena’s heel character in a hurry. This has been apparent since Cena’s title win over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, which received lukewarm reviews at best. The situation only became more dire at Backlash as he retained his title over Randy Orton.

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.

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray believes the seeming loss of steam on John Cena's heel turn can be attributed to one person.
