John Cena's Shocking Move at WWE Elimination Chamber

Toronto, CanadaSun Mar 02 2025
In a surprising twist, John Cena, a 16-time world champion, made a shocking move during his year-long retirement tour. He aligned with The Rock and rapper Travis Scott to betray Cody Rhodes at the Elimination Chamber event. This unexpected turn of events left the crowd stunned and marked a significant shift in Cena's long-standing role as a fan favorite. Cena's decision to turn heel, or become a villain, is a bold move that has never been seen before. Fans are used to seeing Cena as a hero, but now he's taking a different path. The Rock, who was part of the betrayal, praised Cena's performance and called it a big risk. Cena, who has been a mentor to Cody Rhodes, shook his hand and hugged him after Rhodes rejected The Rock's offer. But then, Cena's expression changed and he kicked Rhodes low, leading to a brutal attack. The attack was brutal. Cena punched Rhodes with a gold Rolex watch that Rhodes had received from WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H and WWE CEO Nick Khan. The Rock then whipped Rhodes with a custom weight belt that had the date of his father Dusty Rhodes' death on it. The Rock acknowledged that Travis Scott's presence could lead to the rapper getting into a WWE ring for a match at some point. Scott, whose presence felt like Dennis Rodman's, even slapped Rhodes at one point. The entire angle tied in Rock’s Bad Blood appearance, his graciousness to Rhodes at Raw’s Netflix premiere and the character shift in Cena after his Royal Rumble loss. Triple H praised the surprise factor of the angle, saying that nobody knew about it until the very end. WWE will need to give a believable reason for Cena turning heel because he is nearly as famous in Hollywood as The Rock. Cena remained silent at the post-show press conference. Cena's heel turn could be due to his lack of singles match wins since April 2018 and his desire to win world title No. 17. Either way, WWE has completely flipped the dynamic and added some spice to Cena and Rhodes' match at WrestleMania. This move by Cena is a bold one. It's a risk, but it's also a chance for him to challenge himself and do something different. It's a reminder that even the most beloved heroes can have a dark side. Fans are left wondering what will happen next and how Cena will justify his actions.
