John Cena cut his first heel promo on the March 17th episode of Monday Night RAW. During the promo, Cena pointed out a young fan in the front row and said, “Everybody, including that one kid right there, is a toxic, dysfunctional relationship.” The fan went viral on social media, and Cena mentioned him in this week’s RAW as well.
In an interview with a media outlet in Brussels, the fan said the following.
“Since I was four years old, I have been a fan of John Cena. He’s been my hero for ten years now, and he’s my favorite superstar. I paid to see him. When he pointed at me, it was a source of pride for me that he pointed the finger at me because I didn’t know he was going to talk down to me. I understood he said toxic and dysfunctional, but it’s in his character as a heel, so I understand. For me, John Cena is still my hero.”
THEY FOUND THE KID JOHN CENA TURNED INTO A SUPER VILLAIN 😭
