I can't even imagine what kind of super-Nazi heel character John Cena would have to be in order to make everyone boo him. If he did anything less than publicly executing Titus O'Neil on screen to fascilitate his turn, the parts of the audience that boo him and the parts that cheer him would simply trade places.

I mean; are there any heels in the WWE that people actually boo for non-X-Pac heat related reasons?

Nah, people just think he sucks.

Owens comes the closest but people still mark out and cheer for him when he does cool things.

The difference between Owens and the rest of the roster is that he will immediately do something for boos if people start cheering him instead of just sticking to the plan regardless of crowd reaction. It's why he should be the top heel.

Turn Cena heel by giving him a worked shoot steroids scandal, and give Roman a gamer gimmick.

John knows the only way to save the WWE is for him to leave because it would cause Vince to die of a stroke/heart attack

He'll finally marry Nikki, on one condition: he gets to be the bride!

The only way this could be the plot of an 80s comedy any harder was if Nikki and Cena switched bodies.

Tonight's Raw is likely the first sellout of 2016. Ticket sales shot through the roof once they announced AJ Styles for the event apparently. He's a draw, brother.

Cena's come back early for so much major injuries that I'm now wondering if there's actually a major injury he can suffer. 7 months minimum is 3 to 4 months for him

If that was him getting the Muscle Buster from Joe instead of Kidd, he'd have recovered, had a surprise return, held two belts, and lost one by now

Surely in most cases they exaggerate the amount of time a performer might be out of work just in case anything goes wrong or to allow for surprise early
returns.

So which criminally underused people on the roster do you think would have a serious shot breaking out if they were fired and went to a different promotion?

edit: Other than Cesaro.

I could see Barrett being a pretty big get for another promotion. Dude's talented and could go far if they gave him a chance.

Nah, major torn pectorals are almost always minimum 6 months for athletes (depending on the sport you can mayyyyyyybe pull it off in 5).

He came back in barely 4

John Cena will come back and turn heel joining the Authority. The reasoning is that he knows he's past his prime with his injuries, and he sees a new young big dog in Roman Reigns taking his place. He'll also talk about how he doesn't need wrestling anymore due to his Hollywood success. Why, they might even call him 'Hollywood' Cena

Well more likely he's talking about something that has nothing to do with wrestling because holy poo poo he should not come back from that injury this fast. RIP John Cena

LU could probably do something very good with the Matadores, given that they're at least mid-level talents with a famous family

though maybe the story that they were getting repackaged was true
