Triple H always celebrates with stars backstage after their title wins in WWE by posting a picture with them. However, The Game seems to have ignored this tradition in the case of John Cena after he won the Undisputed WWE Title.

Cena defeated Cody Rhodes at The Show of Shows by laying him out with a low blow and smashing his face with the Undisputed Title. This was his record-setting 17th World Title win, making him the most decorated star in WWE history.

That said, Triple H didn't celebrate his historic victory in his trademark style of posing with the champion. Every champion who won at Mania got the privilege of posing alongside Hunter, except for John Cena. In most cases, The Game puts up the backstage photos with title holders minutes or an hour after their wins.

In Cena's case, however, it's been over four hours. Though Triple H might do the honors later, for now, it seems like he has let go of the tradition. The Game addressed John Cena's future during WrestleMania 41's post-show though, where he confirmed him for Backlash 2025 in St. Louis on May 10th. It remains to be seen who Cena faces at the upcoming premium live event.
