Below are some top news stories of the day, involving John Cena and Eric Bischoff.
• During an interview on the Cheap Heat podcast, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes compared his current role to that of John Cena and said WWE made the right decision by not turning Cena heel.
Here’s what The American Nightmare said:
“I think minimally about [turning heel]. And I could… you never say never. John (Cena)’s never happened, and I think rightfully so. I think what we got there, we look back at now and realize [it was right not to turn him heel].
I think what we got there, we look back at now and realize, I was just watching him vs. Umaga the other day, you see the magic of what John was able to do.”
