John Cena made a shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber on March 2, leaving fans and officials stunned. The unexpected twist came after Cena secured his spot for WrestleMania 41 by winning a six-man Elimination Chamber match, defeating CM Punk as the last man standing. Cena is now set to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
The drama began after the Men’s Elimination Chamber match when The Rock demanded Cody Rhodes become the “Corporate Champion” and deliver an answer. Cody, showing his true colors, responded defiantly with “Go f**k yourself.” The crowd erupted in support, chanting “Cody, Cody,” as Cena appeared to share in the excitement. He hugged Cody, recognizing him as a true superstar who refused to ‘sell his soul’ to The Rock.
However, the celebration took a dark turn when Cena, after making eye contact with The Final Boss, delivered a brutal kick to Rhodes, leaving him incapacitated on the ground. In a moment of pure shock, Cena announced his long-awaited heel turn after 20 years as the WWE hero. To add to the surprise, rapper Travis Scott, siding with The Rock and Cena, slapped a helpless Cody Rhodes while he was lying on the mat.
According to reports, WWE had been planning Cena’s heel turn for weeks, but the segment was originally intended to occur earlier in the event. Rumors circulated the day before that Drew McIntyre might win the Men’s Elimination Chamber, but Cena’s heel turn became the ultimate shocker.
Following the event, Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, revealed that very few officials knew about the heel turn, with Cena being more involved in the segment than the production team. This turn of events has left fans eagerly anticipating what’s next for Cena, Rhodes, and the upcoming WrestleMania 41 match.
