Top WWE Superstar To Turn Heel and Join Nexus?

While WWE has done a very good job of keeping Nexus’ “big picture” under wraps, the storyline, at least in part, inevitably seems to be leading in the direction of a top WWE name aligning with the group. According to the Wrestling Observer, that big WWE name is scheduled to be a key babyface who uses the Nexus alignment to turn heel.

The two names most prominently being thrown around are John Cena and Triple H, both of whom have been on the face side of the equation for years. Neither has been confirmed to turn, but as of right now, the latter appears to be the stronger candidate.

A Cena turn would carry more impact and also fit more intriguingly into the Nexus storyline, but as WWE’s most bankable merchandise seller and mainstream figure, there are a lot of potential costs associated with turning him heel. In recent years, talk of turning Cena heel has not gone very far due to what WWE would be risking after the initial interest spike.

Triple H, meanwhile, has been interested in going heel for a while–plans for a turn have repeatedly been halted due to various injuries and storyline needs.

  1. I’d hate 2 say it, but I think Cena should turn heel bc lk at his tyme in wwe. He’s been the top face since his turn back in 03-04, just 2-3 yrs after his wwe debut. While HHH was face since 06 with the whole DX reuniting with HBK. Now yes I agree with WWE with keeping cena the top face bc of all of the cena merchandise wwe get but hey what I’m saying is, What would a 2010 Heel John Cena be lk? Come on now, just think about it.

  2. My opinion is that a Cena heel turn would work for him for as long as he remains aggressive, but I don’t think it would benefit a Nexus push. However, a Triple H heel turn would greatly benefit Nexus in a way that benefited Degeneration X and Evolution before them. Just think about it!!!

  3. Cena? *LOL* WWE should do a even bigger favor and just get rid of him! Its simple,, Nexus beat him down because Cena instigated it himself! As always! He tries to be funny like the Rock but, He aint anything unless he aims for the Title! If he dont get it Ibet he goes home.. cries and whiones!

  4. If cena turned heel i think it would be great but if he does turn heel then i think that he should get his rapping gimmick back or just a new gimmick because the one he has now is well boring cena is cena, cena is not the rock, cena will never ever be like the rock in tons of ways so yes a heel turn for cena would be perfect i reckon not sure for the benefit of nexus tho? Just have a little think please.

  5. A cena heel turn would make them MORE money. Simply because all the Cena haters would jump on his wagon! There are more Cena haters than WWE leads us to believe. And to turn that majority would make them A LOT of cash.

  6. Turn Cena Heel why? because cena has been face for too many years i am fed up with the never give up and never back down crap and he has been wwe champion too many times i think if he turns heel it would be better in the long hall make him a heel until the end of 2010 and then make him a face again take it from a guy who has watched wrestling for years when stone cold hhh and the rock turned heel it was a great push for them and it will be for cena

  7. If one of them turns heel they shouldnt join nexus it wouldnt seem right, but if Triple H turned heel and then Randy Orton got him to make Evolution again and then have Cena join them and be allies with Nexus, then turn on Nexus, and after a while have Cena or orton turn on Evolution and become face again and at Wrestlemania they could be all in a Triple threat for the title, now that would make wwe great like it ust to be.

    I have a great idea for the Miz to cash in aswell it would also make someone become undisputed champion but not the Miz

  8. Triple H is not going 2 turn heel hes going 2 take care of shamuse at summer slam jhon cena is the one that might turn heel or it could be the Miz because him and the Nexus demand respect and plus the Miz will soon become the WWE champ

  9. repeating orr imitating a group who had success the first time is not a good idea.You can never get tired of DX becuase DX brought hummor to their lil faction,they tried repeating nwo and didnt work out.Turning Cena heel would be the obvisious choice because Cena has been a huge baby almost his whole career
