I had an idea pop into my head while I was reading some articles on Bleacher Report. The article had something to do with possible twists and turns that could occur during Elimination Chamber on Sunday. One of these twists was a heel turn made by John Cena by aligning himself with The Shield. This would obviously resemble Hulk Hogan's turn on his "Hulkamaniacs" when he aligned himself with the nWo in 1996. Even though I don't think it will happen since Cena makes too much money for Vince, I can't help but ask myself "what if?"
Let's look at how 2012 went for Cena:
- He began the year with what could have been the worst feud of the year with Kane.
- Kane's "monstrous" return was all but killed when Cena didn't "embrace the hate."
- He helped bury Zack Ryder in the process.
- He lost to The Rock at WrestleMania XXVIII.
- He was F-5'ed by a returning Brock Lesnar the next night on Raw.
- People who lived across the hall from me thought there was a teenage girl in my room who had Justin Bieber sign "Baby" to her.
- My brother topped my reaction by snapping his phone in half.
- Despite the winning the match, Cena was completely destroyed by Lesnar at Extreme Rules.
- I gained a lot of respect for Cena after taking that beating like a champ.
- His wife filed for a divorce which was finalized within the week.
- I know it's not wrestling related, but it still adds to his woeful year.
- He won the Money in the Bank ladder match for a shot at the WWE Championship.
- Hey look, something good happened!
- He became the first man to not win the championship after cashing in the contract.
- It was 2012, of course it wasn't going to turn out well for him.
- This happening on Raw 1000 made it even worse.
- The worst part was when CM Punk stood tall over Cena and The Rock at the end.
