Wade Barrett on John Cena’s 2025 heel run in WWE: “I didn’t like it at all”

While speaking to The Metro, WWE announcer Wade Barrett gave his thoughts on John Cena’s 2025 heel run in WWE…

“I don’t know if he took some bad advice on the whole heel turn. I didn’t like it at all. I didn’t think it was the right move, and I think his course correct around about SummerSlam time was absolutely the right thing to do. I think he owed it to the WWE Universe and, of course, his legions of Cenation fans to close this thing out the right way and give people what they wanted from him, which is the John Cena they’ve known and loved all along.”

Barrett also said the following about Cena’s retirement tour…

“Not being offensive here – John’s not a young pup anymore. I thought the whole time, this could go off the rails, the chance of injury is much higher now. Thankfully it hasn’t, we’re gonna get all the way there to the finish.”
