Triple H appeared on the Tonight Show to promote WWE WrestleMania 41, which will see night 2 be headlined by John Cena challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title.
This comes after Cena won the Elimination Chamber and aligned with The Rock at the themed-PLE. Once Rhodes turned down Rock’s offer, Cena kicked him down low, leading to a beatdown.
Triple H praised Cena for the hard work he’s been doing as a heel and compared him to Darth Vader from the “Star Wars” franchise.
Triple H stated, “So John Cena, who is the ultimate good guy and has been…his whole mantra his entire career – Hustle Loyalty Respect. He has just been the ultimate good guy. As a human being, has done more wishes for Make-A-Wish than any other celebrity in history. He’s incredible. But the challenge on this is he’s in his retirement run.
He will end his in-ring career in December with WWE. So he’s kind of got this year as his farewell. He came back and turned into a bad guy. In our business, he turned heel, and he beat the crap out of Cody Rhodes with the Rock and with Travis Scott, and he beat the crap out of Cody Rhodes. It’s amazing to see that transformation of John from like the most beloved character in WWE to just Darth Vader. They hate him and he is working very hard to make them hate him.”
