Cody Rhodes to John Cena: “Come and Get Some” – Cody Rhodes stepped into the March 7 episode of WWE SmackDown with a black eye, a painful souvenir from the shocking betrayal at Elimination Chamber 2025. The bruising was a stark reminder of what transpired when John Cena turned heel, aligning himself with The Rock to attack Rhodes. However, for Rhodes, the physical damage was secondary to the emotional impact of Cena’s actions.
During his promo, Rhodes revealed a personal moment involving his daughter, Liberty. When she asked about his injury, he admitted he couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth. Instead, he fabricated a simple excuse, saying he had walked into a wall. One day, though, he vowed to tell her the real story—the man who built his brand on “Never Give Up” had, in fact, given up.
Reflecting on his early years in WWE, Rhodes recalled his time as a young talent driving Cena to shows. He acknowledged how much Cena had meant to both him and the WWE Universe, making the betrayal even more heartbreaking. However, rather than dwelling on the past, Rhodes used the moment to declare his intentions moving forward.
Rhodes expressed his belief that everything in wrestling evolves, and that he represents the future. “The next one doesn’t look like the last,” he stated, reinforcing his conviction that he stands as a new kind of champion. His sights are now set on WrestleMania 41, where he plans to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cena.
He ended his promo by borrowing one of Cena’s most iconic catchphrases: “If you want some, come get some.”
