Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring John Cena.
• During an interview with Justin Barrasso, Hulk Hogan said the following about John Cena turning heel:
“It’s one of the best heel turns I’ve seen in a long, long time. All the major players were involved. I can’t say enough about The Rock, too – he was incredible. They did it right, I’ll tell you that.
It’s going to work as long as John wants to stay plugged in. I don’t know his schedule or how many days he’ll work, but he definitely has everyone’s attention.
Plus, The Rock is involved, too. This could heat up more than anyone is expecting. It could be so hot that it’s crazy, which will lead to a WrestleMania match you’ll never forget.”

• On his My World podcast, AEW star Jeff Jarrett discussed John Cena’s heel turn. Here’s what Jarrett said about fans coining the term “Break-A-Wish” after Cena joined forces with The Rock:
“It resonates. It’s certainly not, ‘Confuse them, you lose them’. It’s the opposite of that. Everybody understands that. Will it, in this politically charged environment… At the end of the day, it goes without saying, and I’ve said it a bunch on My World, yes, we’re pop culture, but people understand more now than ever that we’re theater. We really are Shakespeare to the masses.
So I just don’t think there’s going to be the offense that there could have been even 2, 3, 4, 5 years ago. I just don’t think it’s going to happen today because of John Cena and his legitimate record of setting all the Make-A-Wish records and The Rock and the brand and WWE and the industry as a whole. We’re on seven nights a week, so we’re in people’s homes. People understand who and what we are.”
Regarding Cody Rhodes telling The Rock to “go f**k yourself”, Jarrett said:
“Not needed. That’s my gut reaction. What’s the upside? What did you get out of it? It just wasn’t needed at all.”
