Tyrese Haliburton said he plans to act like John Cena’s heel turn never happened.
Haliburton was at WWE SummerSlam 2025 recovering from an injury with crutches. During the main event between Cena and Cody Rhodes. Cena took one of Haliburton’s crutches made the “You Can’t See Me” gesture. While, Haliburton laughed in the moment he later joked on X, formerly known as Twitter that Cena only needed to ask to borrow it.
Ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2025, Cena’s switch back to a good guy made headlines, but many fans still have questions about his heel turn. On the Self Made Sessions, Tyrese Haliburton shared that he’s glad Cena’s heel run ended quickly and that Cena is back as a face.
“I was cool with it, but I’m glad we kind of just swung that to the wayside and we’re back to being a face. I was at SummerSlam obviously, and when the colors showed up, the pop was crazy. And I thought that that Cena/Cody match is the best match I’ve ever watched in person, I wasn’t necessarily a fan of the heel run but I enjoyed the pipebomb, I thought it was funny, he probably enjoyed it himself, like had fun doing it.
“I don’t know, I wish it was done a little different, like I wish we would’ve got him and Rock and a better explanation as to why he turned heel and I wish we coulda got a faction or something but, I’m just gonna pretend it never happened he was a face the whole time, I went and watched him at SummerSlam. He was a face so, that’s what I’m rocking with.” [H/T: Fightful]
Cena back as a face, he is now scheduled to face Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris later this month.
