AEW has quietly had a number of relatively big releases over its existence, a number of which have found themselves going or returning to their biggest competitor - WWE.

On this edition of the Southern Fried Wrestlecast, Ed and Caden explore one of the fundamentals of pro wrestling - turning heel. Specifically, talking about the "biggest heel turn ever" (according to some) with John Cena. The Gents go over the turn itself, what they felt worked with it, what's been lacking, and whether it's got them buzzing for Wrestlemania. From there, Ed and Caden take a look at WWE's own Top 30 list of greatest turns ever to see where Cena's may be and give you all a list of their own personal favorite turns in WWE (and WCW) history.
