This obviously isn't when the booing started, but WrestleMania fans chose Batista(heel) over Cena(face) at WM 26.
When WrestleMania fans choose Batista over you, you really need to sit down and think about how stale your character is and why so many people choose to genuinely dislike you

No the boos for Cena were present during his feud with Jericho & Angle too. They even got Angle to insult the US armed forces to try draw heat but it didn't work. Prichard says HHH(in his wisdom at the time)said he should be given a feud with Cena because Angle & Jericho just weren't strong enough heels and couldn't help courting the crowd.....and that he would have the crowd cheering for Cena. Of course he failed miserably and was said to be stunned by the SAVAGE anti Cena atmosphere during their match @ WM22. Oh man, I was there live about 5th row and also being guy who tends to side with the villain, it was a terrific atmosphere to be a part of. Even though both he and mysterio won, not sure how it came off via ppv, but the crowd was very pro Angle, not mysterio. I was truly shocked the reaction cena received to be honest. I expected boos, but not like THAT. Kind of shocking considering how over Cena was just a year earlier with his first title win at WMXXI. Also looking back it shows just how over RVD was. Not invasion over but still over madly. I had the pleasure of asking joey styles during the breakfast Q and A session "why hasn't RVD had a run with the WWE title?" Crowd immediately erupted in RVD RVD chants lol. He goes "To be politically correct, WWE is a sports entertainment company and lets just leave it at that" lololol. Styles > Cole. |

John Cena is one of those guys that when the WWE crammed him down our throats, the fans began to rebel against Cena. I am shocked nobody mentioned when Cena got booed out of the building at One Night Stand 2006. Having been at the Hammerstein Ballroom myself, that place can get insanely loud. The New York crowed wasn't going to have it and would have caused a riot had Cena defeated Rob Van Dam at ONS '06.

I laughed my ass off when he'd throw his shirt into the crowd and fans threw it right back; it was great. |

The NY/NJ crowds usually crap on him hard; my dad always wrote it off as him being a Boston/Red Sox guy in Yankee territory. But nowadays it's hard to find a pro-Cena crowd. New Orleans was singing "John Cena sucks" to the tune of his entrance theme. Chicago gave him one of the most overpowering jeers I've ever heard back in 2011:
I remember Unforgiven '05 vs. Kurt Angle was the first time I noticed anti-Cena crowds. Then of course getting a crappy submission move and tapping out the likes of Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels didn't do much to gain his popularity. I remember laughing at the WM 22 main event because, Christ the crowd was more into jeering Cena than watching the match.
And the kind of stuff aimed at Cena at ONS '06 ("Cena swallows!" in particular) has to be the most disparaging things I've ever heard directed toward a wrestler in the ring.

By the time ONS 2006 had rolled around the Cena hate was loud and consistent, I didn't mention that savage atmos because the OP was talking about the boos starting and Cena was expected to be booed against RVD. I don't think anybody expected that reaction against HHH. |

When WrestleMania fans choose Batista over you, you really need to sit down and think about how stale your character is and why so many people choose to genuinely dislike you Well to be fair Batista was on fire and incredibly entertaining in that heel run. So it was easy to rather get behind him than Cena. |
