After he wins title #17, would there be a point to turning him heel? Could it still be done? Or do you think it will bring huge attention to the wwe?

Vince reads this board. Now he'll turn Cena into an anti-American heel and have him side with Jinder. We need to start this thread off right with a Jinder mention.

He's past the point where it would be any kind of huge deal. If they were gonna do it, and it be some sort of 'game changer', it would have had to have been years ago. It would still be big momentarily; but it'd be kinda like Austin turning heel in 01: a big moment with diminishing returns as even the Cena Sucks crowd doesn't really wanna boo the dude anymore.

Too late now anyway. Cena looks like he's becoming a part timer.

I can't believe people forget that amazing heel turn he did a few years back.  |

I guess all the threads about him turning heel were wrong. I can't believe people would go on the internet and spread lies!  |

 He's did this face to burn his heel image into our souls so we would stop asking about the heel turn. |

I could see it happening after he retires. He makes special appearances like Austin, HBK, Hogan, Rock etc then just randomly turns heel for some reason.
Even if it doesn't happen till he's north of 50

Well, no, he won't. It's just so far past the point where it would work for the character or for the person himself, seeing how Cena's in-ring time is dialling down.
The Cena character relies so much on that "don't give up/fight for the sick kids" thing, that turning around and basically stomping on their dreams is something that becomes harder and harder and harder to do the more years you run with it.
Hogan's about the only comparable figure in recent decades for that, but Hogan's turn was a different time and different place.

Hopefully not because there wouldn't be much point now.
He has the talent to play a decent heel, but there's way more upside in turning Reigns.

Every time someone mentions the Cena heel turn Vince pushes it back a week.
It's slowed down in recent years, but we're still not due until March 2109.

Probably for one of his return feuds when he becomes an actual part timer.

The ship's sailed on that so much, it's made at least two round the world trips by now.

He said a few years back in an interview that to most, he already was the biggest heel in the company.

Depends how desperate they get in their quest to make Reigns the top guy.

If they were going to do it, they should've done it between 2008-2013. Now, he's basically at legend status and will get mostly cheers for the rest of his career. Most of the crowd that boos him now does it for fun.
