Jake Roberts On Whether It Was The Right Move For John Cena To Turn Heel

WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts took to an episode of his The Snake Pit podcast, where he discussed several topics, including whether it was the right move for John Cena to turn heel.

Roberts said, “Yeah, absolutely. Sure, why not? It’s time for a couple of reasons. Number one, Cody’s your top babyface now. So you gotta get those other guys out of there, so he’s the only one. And to turn him heel, he’ll he’s gonna wind up letting Cody over which is what they want.”

On whether Cena had the ‘It Factor’ like other top stars:

“I don’t think he did. I don’t feel it, man. [It’s] nothing personal, but I just always struggle with him.”

On what he thinks Cena is missing:

“Not really [anything specific]. Just doesn’t have that magic in him, man. You know, his interviews are okay and his work is was good, very good. But he didn’t have that ‘oomph.’ He had to work really hard.”
