And yes it's annoying. I feel like the only people that should do the conference are HHH and anybody making like a debut.

In terms of Cena the first hint was the Royal Rumble press conference - where he said he was going to use his leverage to be in EC and that him being in the EC was what's best for business.

The interesting angle is that Cena can actually try to say this isn't a heel turn - that he's always been a company guy and does what the company wants him to do.

Now it's just that The Rock is the company.

If you go back and read Mick Foley's first book there's a chapter that's really a master class on characters. Basically the heel can't see themselves as heels. they have to have a justification that they are doing the right thing as a bad guy. Kevin Owen's is the master of that, and that's why he was so believable as a heel throughout his career.


John Cena can see justifiable reasons for betraying Cody and selling out to the Rock. He was the guy that carried the company for a long time, by doing what's best for business. He's doing it here.
