Booker T dug it.
At WWE Elimination Chamber, John Cena won the Men's Elimination Chamber. He then turned heel and attacked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Cena, The Rock, and Travis Scott ended the night standing tall.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T shared his thoughts on John Cena's heel turn.
“I loved it, man. It’s just what wrestling is. When you think you figured it out and they throw you another curveball, like this one right here, everybody’s [saying] John Cena’s gonna come back and win the title. That’s what everybody was thinking about. John Cena’s going to win the Chamber and go on and break the record. I think that’s the story, not John Cena turning heel to actually get that accomplished. But no, man. I love what wrestling is. You think you got it all figured out, they throw you a curveball. Heading into WrestleMania season, I don’t care what anybody says, this is not about John Cena’s ability. This is about the story, and I think that’s what wrestling is....With John Cena doing what he’s done with The Rock, totally mixing it up, it’s just great TV. If anybody look at [as] anything other than that, they just got a problem with the show," Booker T said.
Booker T then looked ahead to WrestleMania 41 before saying that he didn’t think they could have written the script better.
