If Cena were to go heel, I have always thought the best route would be a Mr. Bob Backlund type heel. Like a "Think of the Children!!!" style guy who has taken an extreme moral stance against everything and doesn't see his own hypocrisy. So just regular Cena?

Cena kind of was in the role already and he knew exactly how to play it. When he fueded with Bryan and Punk, he definitely was playing a Bret Hart style heel almost to a T. He even finally addressed the people that would boo him, saying they would never accept him and it was pointless to try and make them like him. Of course then he put on great matches with Punk and Cena, even putting them over that actually did cause many of his critics to respect him.

I can’t remember who it was, but Cornette said in the OVW days he pictured either Cena or Edge as a Ric Flair style heel.

I think the closest he came to organically turning heel in recent vintage was in the runup to Wrestlemania 34 (I think) when he was trying to "find a path to Wrestlemania" and managed to pin Finn Balor. Even the kids were hatin' him that night. Had he just gone all out heel then, we'd might have seen Cena vs. the Demon at Wrestlemania that year.

I'm just bummed we didn't get Cena vs. Ambrose for the IC Title at the one Mania where Ambrose fought Corbin on the preshow and Cena did that mixed tag match. Ambrose as the Austin to Cena's whiny Bret would've been great.

As for everyone in the rest of the world...YOU CAN'T SEE ME!" *drops microphone and waves his hand in front of his face to the roar of the Canadian crowd*

So he would be a Babyface in the States and a Heel in the rest of the world? Babyface in Boston, a heel elsewhere. Just like Tom Brady as a Patriot.

I would be okay with this if Cena could have a stable that consisted of Jinder, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins and it be called The Cenation Foundation of Domination.
