WWE star John Cena comments on whether he's interested in turning heel, says he feared he suffered a major injury doing the spotlight stunt with Big Show
By Jason Powell Jul 9, 2009 - 03:21 PM


John Cena was asked in an ESPN interview whether he's interested in turning heel. "That's the thing, I'm one of those guys who on any given day can be booed out of any building," Cena said. "I'm the only guy who is neither a good guy or a bad guy. That's because I'm genuinely myself. Certainly, guys in our industry try to sway the audience one way or the other, but like I said, I go out there and I'm me.

"I have certain things that I stand for, certain things that I believe in, and if you don't like it and you tell me to go to hell, I think that's your God-given right as a fan. It's one of those deals where I'm that one guy who is outside of that realm of good guy, bad guy. I'm just me, and it elicits a response both positive and negative."

Cena also discussed the spotlight stunt he did with Big Show. "It was completely real," Cena said. "I thought I broke my tailbone. I had spinal-fusion surgery on my neck a while back, and I actually had to get an MRI on both my hips and spine and also my neck. I thought my surgery had come undone. That was about as real as it gets. That one was tough for me. I still kept keeping on, and I didn't miss any shows, but I was walking very gingerly for quite some time."

Powell's POV: Cena has an interesting take on his character in that he doesn't see himself as a heel or a babyface. WWE has clearly positioned him as a babyface and I'd like to see him turn at some point, but Vince McMahon is strongly opposes the idea. As for the spotlight stunt, in retrospect it wasn't a wise move if it truly was that dangerous. Cena is the company's top draw and that stunt wasn't worth the risk of losing him for a substantial amount of time.
