John Cena Turns Babyface On WWE SmackDown
During tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, Cena seemingly turned babyface, in a heartfelt moment with Cody Rhodes in the ring. The show opened tonight with Cena and Rhodes facing off in the ring. Instead of a brawl, though, Cena got surprisingly honest, and thanked Rhodes for forcing their Street Fight to happen.
Cena said that for the past five months, he's needed a kick in the ass. He said he realized he flushed everything he believed in 'down the toilet' just to try and make shocking TV. Cena then took a shot at The Rock, saying the people who's idea it was left him 'high and dry.' Now, though, Cena says he wants to take the belt into retirement to make sure people don't forget him.
Cena went on to say that he should've listened to Rhodes, and that Cody was being a good friend. Now, no matter who wins at SummerSlam, Cena says the fans will win. A shocked Rhodes then wouldn't let Cena leave before getting two beers and toasting to the new Cena.
The move comes as a surprise, and also during a time in which countless rumors about Cody Rhodes potentially turning heel at SummerSlam have swirled. With Cena seemingly a new man, it'll be interesting to see what happens during their match at SummerSlam.

You Can Stay at the House From ‘Poltergeist', and Even Have Someone Haunt You
It's been about a year since the house from 1982's Poltergeist went on the market for the first time, exciting horror fans who scrolled through property photos, dreamed of stacking chairs in the retro-preserved kitchen, and wondered if anything suspicious was unearthed while building that backyard pool. That was fun, but this is even better: in the grand tradition of movie-themed stays past, the Freeling home is now available for booking on Airbnb, complete with a massive old TV set broadcasting static (if you dare) and clown doll (if you know, you know). The Poltergeist House—located in Simi Valley, not the fictional, ill-planned suburb of 'Cuesta Verde'—has a dedicated website, full of glorious photos that reaffirm just how much of the 43-year-old movie's essence still lives on within its walls. It sleeps up to eight guests (there are four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms), so if you can get a group together, that would make the $800 starting price per night a little more manageable. It also has amenities galore, including a pool (skeleton-free, from the looks of it) and hot tub. The best amenity of all, however, is very specific to the Poltergeist House. According to the Airbnb page, your stay can include 'custom curated experiences with static-lit portraits, tours, movie screenings, or a night that feels… watched.' Why not conduct a paranormal investigation while you're at it? (It's been done: the house played host to an episode of Ghost Adventures that aired earlier this year on the Discovery Channel, and of course you saw what happened in the movie itself.) Even if you can't swing a trip to Los Angeles to indulge your TV people fantasies, you can still mutter 'They're heeeere!' and 'You're jammin' my frequency' to yourself while appreciating the images. Here are our favorites; head to the Poltergeist House to see them all and find out how to book your stay. Want more io9 news?
