WWE's Biggest Miss featuring John Cena
But they had to settle for John Cena turning his right heel, and not turning out to be a WWE heel. The segment has gone viral on social media as the fans are sharing it. To date, Cena not turning heel is being regarded as the biggest miss from WWE. There were a couple or more instances where John could have turned heel. The first of them was against CM Punk during their feud in 2011.
In that period, Punk was highly 'over' among the fans and was the biggest babyface of the time. Cena was an untold heel in the feud. In one of the segments with the masked Kane, Cena showed glimpses of his heel turn. But things were actually getting materialized during Cena's feud with The Rock in 2012. The plan had to be scrapped though John was ready for it.
