Honestly? Now that the retirement is done and that I've thought this over a bunch and how they could've handled the heel turn? It should have never happened to begin with.
A story this big couldn't been done justice in a retirement tour with limited dates and matches and you couldn't get the fans to hate John in a retirement tour when he's going to be gone by the end of the year.
WWE got too greedy and it's a sign of it that they chased one viral moment over long term plans or actually giving Cena a good farewell. They shouldn't have tried working any storylines into this and just had it be dream matcherinos and nostalgia baiting and that's all it needed to be.
It's John Cena's retirement tour, it's the easier shit ever to book. I know the temptation was there like what if we subvert expectations or do a deconstruction of Cena's character, but don't. Just book a normal retirement tour and make the fans happy. You're not a movie maker, Paul, you're not writing the Godfather.
