Did John Cena Just Steal From Roman Reigns’ Script for His WWE RAW Promo Explaining Why He Turned Heel

For years, WWE fans have debated whether John Cena would ever turn heel. The guy has been the ultimate babyface for so long that even the thought of him switching sides felt like a fever dream.

But on WWE RAW, that dream or nightmare, depending on who you ask finally became a reality. Cena unleashed a scathing promo that had everyone doing double-takes, because, well, we might have heard something very similar before.

Now, let’s get one thing straight. Cena’s heel turn was bound to be dramatic. He couldn’t just stroll into the ring, smirk at the crowd, and say, “Hey guys, I’m bad now.” Nope. He had to make it count.

And he did. The problem? The words coming out of his mouth felt eerily familiar. Like, almost word-for-word familiar. And not just from any random wrestler, he seemed to have borrowed a page straight from Roman Reigns’ book.

Did John Cena just hit copy-paste on Roman Reigns’ promo?

Alright, WWE Universe, let’s break it down. John Cena’s promo on RAW had him berating the crowd, accusing them of being selfish, and basically calling them out for being takers who never give back. Sound familiar? That’s because Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief himself, said something almost identical during his own promo back on SmackDown.

In true Cena fashion, he delivered his lines with that signature intensity, but it wasn’t long before fans with sharp memories or just access to YouTube started drawing comparisons. It was as if Cena took Reigns’ monologue, tweaked a few words, and slapped his name on it like a last-minute college essay.

Of course, the internet wasted no time in clowning John Cena for this apparent plagiarism. Memes flooded Twitter faster than a Money in the Bank cash-in. Some fans joked that Cena might’ve been borrowing Reigns’ old scripts all along, while others speculated that this was a subtle tribute to the Head of the Table. Either way, it was hilarious.

John Cena’s heel turn is just a recycled gimmick?

Let’s be real, John Cena turning heel is a seismic shift in WWE. It’s like if The Undertaker decided to start doing TikTok dances or if Brock Lesnar suddenly became a motivational speaker. The dude has been Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect for so long that seeing him embrace the dark side is both shocking and, let’s admit it, kinda awesome.

But, does it count as groundbreaking if his promo sounds like a re-run? WWE is no stranger to recycling storylines, but outright reusing lines? That’s a new level of déjà vu.

Some fans argue that Cena’s words were a strategic homage to Roman Reigns, possibly setting up a future feud between the two. Others think it’s just WWE being WWE, repackaging old material and hoping we don’t notice. Spoiler, we always notice.

Regardless, the new Cena era is officially here. Whether he’s taking notes from Reigns or just embracing his inner bad guy in his own way, one thing’s for sure, this is going to be entertaining. And if nothing else, at least we now know that even 16-time world champions might need a little creative inspiration sometimes.
