Hogan Critiques Cena Heel Turn, Title Defense Looms

Hulk Hogan compared John Cena’s recent heel turn to his own iconic nWo transformation, expressing disappointment with the follow-through and lack of sustained narrative after the event, particularly in light of The Rock's involvement and subsequent absence. Hogan praised Cena’s contributions to WWE and his charitable work but felt the storyline lacked the escalating menace and ongoing development that made the nWo angle legendary. Other commentators and fans echoed these concerns, citing the missed opportunity to build a compelling long-term story and the absence of continued collaboration between Cena and The Rock. Despite the initial shock of Cena’s heel turn, critics argue WWE failed to capitalize on the moment. Cena, now a 17-time world champion, is scheduled to defend his title against Randy Orton. The overall impact and legacy of Cena's heel run remain uncertain.
