Triple H draws a chilling comparison between John Cena and Darth Vader | WWE News

WrestleMania season is heating up, and things in WWE are taking a wild turn. Triple H recently appeared on The Tonight Show to talk about all the action building up to WrestleMania 41. While many expected him to speak about his Hall of Fame induction or his wrestling memories, what really grabbed everyone’s attention was what he said about John Cena. Triple H compared Cena’s shocking change to one of the most famous movie villains ever, Darth Vader from Star Wars.
John Cena, who has been loved by fans for almost two decades, has turned into a completely different person in his final WWE run. This sudden switch from hero to villain is something fans didn’t see coming. This comparison by Triple H shows just how serious and dark this new version of Cena is.
John Cena turning to the dark side
Triple H spoke about how Cena returned in his retirement year and shocked the world by turning heel. John Cena, known for always standing for honesty and loyalty, is now working with The Rock and even rapper Travis Scott. Together, they attacked Cody Rhodes, showing that Cena has fully turned to the dark side. He shared this moment on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon:
“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.”
This move by Cena has completely changed how fans see him. After being the face of WWE and a hero to kids all over the world, he is now acting like a villain. Triple H used a powerful reference to explain how far Cena has gone, comparing him to Darth Vader, the iconic villain from Star Wars.
Triple H compares John Cena to Darth Vader
Darth Vader is one of the most famous fictional characters in movie history. He started as a hero but later joined the dark side, becoming one of the most feared villains in the galaxy. Triple H sees the same kind of transformation in Cena, from a fan favorite to someone fans now boo and fear.
He said:
“It’s amazing to see that transformation of John from the most beloved character in WWE to just Darth Vader. And he is working very hard to make them hate him.”
This statement by Triple H shows how deep Cena’s change is. Just like Darth Vader, Cena didn’t just change his actions, he changed everything about who he is in the story. This kind of twist is rare in WWE, especially for someone as loved as John Cena.
With WrestleMania 41 coming closer, fans are waiting to see what this “Darth Vader” version of Cena will do next. Will he fully embrace the dark side and destroy everything in his way? Or is there still a part of the old John Cena left inside him? The above comparison by Triple H has made the storyline even bigger and more exciting.
