WWE and HHH Appear to Know Who is leaking stuff to the dirtsheets now.

WWE pulled off an impressive feat by keeping John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber completely under wraps. To maintain secrecy, the company even misled people about the match order, with reports suggesting The Rock and Cody Rhodes' segment would take place earlier—when in reality, WWE had always planned for it to close the show. The Rock’s creative was closely guarded by a small circle consisting of The Rock himself, Brian Gewirtz, and Triple H, while most of the roster and backstage personnel were left in the dark until the moment played out live.

But this goes beyond Cena. WWE has been using extreme secrecy to protect its biggest storylines, particularly those involving The Rock and Roman Reigns. While it’s common for major creative plans to be kept from the writing team, WWE has taken it a step further under Triple H’s leadership. The company has been known to strategically leak selective details while keeping their actual plans under lock and key.

Triple H has even hinted at this approach in past interviews, suggesting that WWE is more than willing to steer people in the wrong direction to keep surprises intact. A WWE source has indicated that higher-ups have a good idea of where leaks come from, which has led to speculation that WWE deliberately puts out misleading details—making it seem like plans are constantly shifting when, in reality, they are controlling the narrative from behind the scenes.

Well that was quite the weekend. The Cena heel turn was very well done. Does this mean he isn't retiring now?
Guess Punk is getting passed over again. Saw an interview with him where he said he realizes he'll probably never main event Wrestlemania and he's ok with it. Quite a change from what he said in the past.

The Cena one definitely ranks up there with Windham, Hogan and Flair and the Anderson's turning on Dusty.

Saw a wild rumor that WWE was trying to set up Bad Bunny vs. Travis Scott for later in the year.

Cena is still retiring....There are plenty of opportunities for Cena to turn back face prior to his end...I am guessing he wins as a heel at WM but turns back to face again around SummerSlam or his last PLE...This also may let us get that one last Rock and SCSA showdown we missed last year at WM although SCSA recently had knee replacement surgery so that might not be possible any longer.

I also saw a post online that said there is only one person who can make Cena see the error of his ways to turn him back face and that is R-Truth...Not gonna lie, that would make for pretty good TV.

They’ve been doing that for years even before Triple H took over. The whole leak fake details thing has been something they’ve been doing for as long as I can remember.

My wager is Cena destroys R Truth on one of the shows this week to cement his heel status.
