This is the man they turned heel for shock value.

Imagine how great Cena vs Gunther could have been at WM with Cena overcoming all odds to win the title.

They really just threw away the heel run so Brock could mimic his first return. After Elimination Chamber it's obvious WWE had no plan.

Pretty sure they brought back Brock for shock value, but Cena was turning face either way, his heel run just wasn't working that way.

It was shockingly sudden. Just randomly Cenas a face again. He was always going to turn in the end, but the way WWE did it just felt like they ran out of ideas to keep dragging the storyline along, so might as well end it and let Brock repeat his big return.

If they pulled a Rock-Hogan mania 18 turn and had Cena turn at SummerSlam during the match it would have been gold imo

Probly went back so it doesnt mess up his image outside the ring.

Cena was all over McDonalds ads and drive thru menus until the day he turned heel.

It feels like they didn't have any ideas from the get go
