John Cena Turns Heel, Aligns with The Rock – As noted, John Cena secured his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 41 by winning the 2025 Elimination Chamber Match. However, the biggest shock of the night came after the match, when Cena turned heel for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The tension between Cody Rhodes and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson finally erupted in a heated confrontation. Rhodes made it clear that he would not be manipulated, telling The Rock that his soul no longer belonged to him. Looking The Rock in the eyes, Rhodes explained that he had already given his soul to the ring and the WWE Universe long ago. Then, in a moment that sent shockwaves through the arena, Rhodes defiantly told The Rock to “go f*** yourself,” rejecting any deal The Final Boss had to offer.
Cena initially stood alongside Rhodes, sharing an embrace with his WrestleMania opponent. But then, in a stunning moment, The Rock gave Cena a signal—and Cena responded by delivering a low blow to Rhodes. What followed was a brutal beatdown, with Cena using a Rolex, a microphone, and the Undisputed WWE Championship to attack the champion. Rhodes was left bloodied as Cena continued his assault.
Adding to the humiliation, Cena and Travis Scott held Rhodes in place, allowing The Rock to lash him as a final message. The trio then stood tall over Rhodes’ battered body, posing together as the WWE Universe reacted in shock.
With Cena’s betrayal and apparent alignment with The Rock, the road to WrestleMania 41 has taken a dramatic turn. The question now is—what does this mean for Cody Rhodes as he heads into the biggest match of his career?
