The Leader of the Cenation won the Men's Elimination Chamber to earn a shot at The American Nightmare's Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. After the match, the 47-year-old surprisingly turned heel and attacked his Show of Shows opponent, aligning himself with The Rock. Since then, fans and experts have debated whether it was the right decision to turn the 16-time world champion villain on his farewell tour.

On The Snake Pit podcast, Roberts disclosed that he believes it was a correct move. He speculated that Cena would end up putting Rhodes over and have a passing of the torch moment:

"Well, it's time for it for a couple of reasons. Number one, Cody's your top babyface now. So, you gotta get those other guys out of there so he's the only one. And to turn him heel, he's gonna wind up putting Cody over, which is what they want. [Like a passing of the torch moment?] Absolutely," he said. [2:21 - 2:53]
