John Cena’s father breaks silence about the real reason his son turned heel – he lashes out (Exclusive)

John Cena’s father recently spoke out about his son’s surprising heel turn, expressing frustration with the constant questions surrounding the decision.

The Cenation Leader shocked fans at Elimination Chamber 2025 by turning heel immediately after securing a spot to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania. The unexpected betrayal left many puzzled, including Cena’s father, who shared his thoughts with Bill Apter.

John Cena’s father seemed exasperated with the inquiries about his son’s actions, suggesting that people should wait for the situation to unfold and hear Cena’s reasoning directly from him.

“I’m tired of the other phone calls I’m getting. I don’t know why he did what he did. You’re gonna have to get that from him. I’m so tired of this. Why don’t we just let it play out and find out what’s happening?” (00:55 – 1:07)

Clearly overwhelmed by the repeated questions, Cena’s father urged fans to wait for Cena’s explanation when he inevitably appears alongside The Rock.
