John Cena has officially secured his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 41, where he will challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship. The veteran superstar earned his opportunity after a hard-fought victory in the men’s Elimination Chamber match, forcing longtime rival CM Punk to pass out in his signature STF submission hold.
With his path to WrestleMania set, Cena came face-to-face with Rhodes in a moment of apparent sportsmanship. The two shook hands in what seemed like a respectful exchange. However, the mood quickly shifted when the unmistakable music of The Rock hit the arena.
The Rock, who was accompanied by rapper Travis Scott, made his way to the ring. His presence initially appeared to signal support for Rhodes, but the champion shocked everyone by defiantly rejecting The Rock. In a heated moment, Rhodes delivered a profanity-filled response, making it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the Hollywood icon.
Just as tensions seemed to reach their peak, Cena delivered an unexpected betrayal that left the crowd in disbelief. Seemingly siding with The Rock, Cena caught Rhodes off guard with a vicious low blow. The attack escalated quickly, as Cena struck Rhodes with a watch before slamming the Undisputed Championship belt across his head. To the shock of fans, Cena then used Rhodes’ own tie to choke him, leaving him defenseless.
The chaos didn’t end there. With Cena and Scott holding Rhodes in place, The Rock unleashed a brutal assault, repeatedly striking the champion with his signature weightlifting belt. The beating left Rhodes bloodied and battered, while the audience watched in stunned silence.
