John Cena to give up his WrestleMania 41 spot to WWE legend on the orders of The Rock? Exploring the potential
John Cena is set to face Cody Rhodes at the WWE WrestleMania 41 for the Undisputed Championship this weekend. The Franchise Player won the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber and turned heel on Rhodes.
The 47-year-old joined forces with The Rock, creating massive buzz in the mainstream media. Things are bound to get chaotic in the main event on Sunday, and The Rock could perhaps play an important role in the outcome of the bout, misusing his power as a member of TKO group’s Board of Directors.
In a shocking turn of events, The Final Boss might do the unthinkable, and John Cena could potentially give up his WrestleMania spot to Randy Orton, who shares a long history with Cody Rhodes.
The Apex Predator has been trying to find a 'Mania opponent as his original match against Kevin Owens fell off the card with KO sustaining a real-life neck injury. Orton stepping into Cena’s spot, revealing himself as the third member of Rock’s group, could be the most shocking 'Mania twist. Although it’s mostly unlikely to happen.
That said, the angle suggested above is speculative, and nothing is confirmed.
Former WWE employee feels the company has seemingly leaked the John Cena vs Cody Rhodes WrestleMania match result
While speaking on SportsKeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW with Dr. Chris Featherstone, former WWE head writer Vince Russo expressed that the Stamford-based promotion had to sell 9000 tickets for RAW after Mania.
He stated that to promote RAW, WWE seemingly leaked that Cena would beat Rhodes at the Show of Shows by announcing the Franchise Player for the flagship show after WrestleMania 41.
“They’ve already… bro, the RAW after WrestleMania in Vegas? They had 9000 tickets that they have yet to sell. So they announced today that Cena’s going to be on that RAW. They just told you Cena was winning that title because they’ve got to sell 9000 tickets,” Russo said.
With WrestleMania inching closer, it will be interesting to see what plans the Triple H-led creative team has in store for John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes this weekend and who emerges as the ultimate champion.
