Cody Rhodes is set to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Elimination Chamber winner John Cena at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The Cenation Leader shockingly turned heel, allying himself with The Rock, and launched a furious attack on Rhodes, leaving everyone perplexed by his action.
With Cena selling his soul to The Final Boss and turning heel for the first time in over two decades, the hype for John and Cody’s title bout at WrestleMania 41 has reached its peak and has changed the entire course of The Show of Shows. The hype amongst the fans for this title match has topped to an extreme extent.
However, the result of Cena vs. Rhodes in WrestleMania 41 may have already been spoiled. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, John Cena was originally planned to win the 2025 Elimination Chamber and not be involved in The Rock and Cody’s segment.
