While appearing on Sportskeeda.com’s WrestleBinge podcast, John Cena Sr. discussed his son’s retirement tour in WWE…

“Turning John Cena a heel was a great idea. The shock factor was great, but I think the storyline was destroyed. And that was a very poor move, in my opinion, because it was a big gamble for everyone that was involved. And to see how it started and then to see the characters who were involved no longer be present, the heel turn almost became non-essential.

That was something I really wasn’t too really hyped up on. I’ll say it like it is. I probably get in trouble for saying things, but I’m just going to say it like it is. I think that bothers me the most of anything. I think the positive aspects of this is the face turn.”
