Hulk Hogan weighed in on John Cena’s heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber when he aligned with The Rock ahead of challenging Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania 41.
There have been comparisons between Cena aligning with The Rock and Hogan being revealed as the NWO’s third man at WCW Bash at the Beach 1996, joining Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. While speaking with The Undisputed’s Justin Barrasso, Hogan praised the segment.
“Well, we definitely can see Cena now, can’t we?” Hogan said. “We know who he is now. He’s not signing autographs or doing what he’s been doing. That’s bigger than a wrestling angle.”
“It’s one of the best heel turns I’ve seen in a long, long time,” Hogan continued. “All the major players were involved. I can’t say enough about The Rock, too—he was incredible. They did it right, I’ll tell you that.”
Hogan has not made a live appearance on WWE programming since a negative fan reception at the Netflix premiere on January 6th.
