Cena is no stranger to breaking records. He is likely to surpass Ric Flair's record of 16 World Titles at WrestleMania 41 when he faces Cody Rhodes in the main event.
Two weeks ago on RAW, John Cena cut a fierce promo, taking massive shots at WWE fans in the opening segment. The promo surpassed a million YouTube views in six hours. It didn't take long for The Cenation Leader to break this record, as his opening segment with Cody Rhodes on tonight's RAW reached a million views in only five hours.

John Cena's heel turn has garnered massive mainstream coverage, and fans are excited to see him wrestle as a bad guy for the first time in more than two decades.
Cena wants nothing more than to become a 17-time World Champion by defeating Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania. Cody, on the other hand, would love to continue being WWE's top champion by successfully defending his title against Cena at The Show of Shows.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
