During an interview with Peter Rosenberg, Triple H also shed light on the closely guarded secret surrounding John Cena’s recent and unexpected heel turn. This turn occurred at Elimination Chamber, where Cena aligned with The Rock and Travis Scott to attack Cody Rhodes.
“So in that moment when John turns, we kept that so quiet that on our side, three people on the exec team, from the writing staff, knew. That’s it. Me and two others. Nobody else knew. Cena knew, obviously,” Triple H revealed, emphasizing the extreme secrecy surrounding this significant character shift for the long-time fan favorite. He further detailed the tight circle of knowledge, stating, “Cena didn’t even tell his wife. Cena didn’t tell his manager. Cody knew. Cody told no one. Obviously Rock knew. Travis sort of knew, but he was just along for the ride doing exactly what they told him to do, which at some point, slapped Cody, and he was slapping him whether Cena wanted it or not because Cena didn’t know about that part.”
