John Cena once teased a heel turn to the fans. The leader of the Cenation Army became so used to the fans that there were boos from the fans just by his presence. It led to discussions on his potential heel turn in the WWE community. As if a major tease towards it, Cena ended up turning his heel in one of the Raw episodes claiming it to be his 'heel turn'.

Cena was the world champion and appeared on Raw. As the fans were sick and tired of his character, it seemed like the excitement was not in the air. John tried to cheer them up. He asked the fans to tune in to his championship dance. As there was a bit of reaction, the 16-time world champion came up with a bit of a body shake.

As there was a bit of a reaction, the WWE Superstar asked the fans if they would like it if he came up with a kick. The fans chanted "No! No! No!" and sent a clear message to John. He then asked the fans how would it be for him to pull off a heel turn. There was a massive reaction from the fans as Cena mentioned the term 'Heel turn'.

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.
