Brie and Nikki Bella have shared their reactions to John Cena siding with The Rock against Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber. The Bella Twins discussed Cena’s character change during a recent interview with Women’s Wrestling Talk.
Brie Bella expressed support for Cena’s character direction in his farewell year.
It’s about time. I’m actually really happy because this is his farewell year, and I didn’t know if he’d give in or not. So, I love it and the way it was done. I mean, chef’s kiss.
Nikki Bella described the heel turn as a special gesture to fans during Cena’s final WWE run.
It was done so well. To end your farewell tour and turn into a character that the fans have wanted for so long. It’s not only, I think, going to be fun for him, but how great for the fans. It’s like a gift he’s giving. You know what I mean? I think it’s so cool. It was amazing.
Cena’s alignment with The Rock marked a major shift in his character after years of portraying a fan-favorite persona. The betrayal of Rhodes created significant buzz throughout the wrestling world.
WWE has scheduled Cena to continue his farewell tour with appearances on upcoming shows following this character transformation.
