Jeff Jarrett On John Cena's Heel Run: They’re Awfully Close To No Man’s Land, Better Pour Some Gas On That Fire

Jeff Jarrett wants more from John Cena's run as a heel.

Cena's retirement tour has been largely criticized by some fans, with the main argument being that his heel run has been underwhelming and uneventful.

The criticism has picked up in recent weeks, with fans largely panning the decision to have Cena team with Logan Paul at WWE Money In The Bank.

On the latest episode of his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett gave his take on Cena's current direction, encouraging WWE to pour some gas on the fire.

“The thing with Cena, I’m just curious to see where all that goes. Switching him heel and all of the emotion that came from that, whenever you switch a tip tip top guy, the old [idea] comes back into my brain that I was taught — You better have his first, not first opponent, but like first three or four if you’re going to keep the momentum going. That’s where I scratch my head, where are they going with him? I know Cody is back in the mix and they kind of did some shuckin’ and jivin’, so are they going to switch him back. Curiosity is what they want out of it, but are they gonna switch him back babyface this quick? I don’t know. I don’t wanna say they’re in no man’s land, but man they are awfully close to it. They’ve got to create a little bit more tailwind out of it. That was March and we’re just at the end of May, better pour some gas on that fire.”
