WWE Night of Champions \u2013 June 28th<\/h3>\n\nFacing one of the most important rivals of his career, Cena defeated CM Punk in a chaotic encounter with multiple interruptions and referees out of action.\n\nAt one point, Punk requested a new referee, but Seth Rollins, winner of the Money in the Bank, appeared on the scene.

Booed in Brussels \u2013 March 17<\/h3>\n\n\n“I am not a villain, I am a human being.” John Cena made it clear that he was done playing the hero in an appearance on Monday Night Raw in Belgium. The WWE icon fully embraced his shocking change of attitude with a venomous diatribe directed straight at the fans.\n\n\n
\n

“For 25 years, I have been the victim of an abusive relationship. All I did was work hard and earn. And what did I get in return? Hate. It was never enough for you”.<\/p>John Cena<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n“I don’t need them,” he continued, intensifying the hostility as the crowd erupted in boos. But the WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, didn’t stay silent.\n\n“Where’s the guy on this shirt, right here?” Rhodes said, pointing to the illustration of Cena doing his signature salute on his shirt. Calling Cena “whiny,” he set the stage for their clash at WrestleMania 41, a massive showdown scheduled for April 19 in Las Vegas.\n\n\n
