John Cena believes he gave his all during his heel run.
During a recent interview with The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, John Cena discussed his heel run during the first half of his retirement tour. When asked if he regretted how it turned out, Cena said:
“Not at all! What is perfect? Here’s what I do know. Perfect is never achievable. I think that’s a sucker’s chase. When I look back on it, could I have given any more than I did? Not a bit. I overprepared, I tried to go to every corner of my emotional well-being, and the cool thing is, when the audience began to turn, we turned.
“So, they helped it out,” John Cena continued, “and that dynamic was a little bit ahead of schedule for Cody and I, but it made for a great showing for the summer. So, you choose, again, anecdotes, make New Day a bunch of heels, they’re aspirational pastors, but they’re bad guys. The crowd booed them, and then they loved them. Nobody wanted to change them.
Speaking further, John Cena noted that though the heel run didn’t turn out as expected, it doesn’t mean that he didn’t give his all.
“‘Let’s try John like this, I know we have limited time, but let’s do something really big.’ Okay, it didn’t work, didn’t mean I didn’t give my all.”
