At WrestleMania 41, John Cena will face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of the second night. This match is set to be monumental, as Cena has the chance to become the first WWE Superstar to achieve 17 world title reigns. Cena is currently tied at 16-time world championship alongside Ric Flair, and one more victory would set him apart in WWE history.
John Cena to make history
Besides surpassing Ric Flair, Cena will become the first Superstar to challenge for a title 10 times at WrestleMania. Cena's journey at the grandest stage of them all began in 2004, where he first challenged for the United States Championship against Big Show. As years have passed by Cena has competed for various championships at multiple WrestleManias, including WWE and World Heavyweight Titles. Cena's remarkable career includes appearances at WrestleManias 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 31, and 39, where he has sometimes entered as a champion.
Will The Rock Interfere in John Cena's Match
Although The Rock has been absent from WWE television, there is speculation about his involvement at WrestleMania 41. The Rock made an appearance at WrestleMania 40, where he interfered on the second night. If he returns this year, he could potentially make his presence known during the main event, adding even more intrigue to this already high-stakes match.
What next for John Cena?
John Cena shocked the WWE Universe when he turned heel after winning the Elimination Chamber match. In a surprising move, Cena aligned himself with The Rock after Cody Rhodes rejected his offer, marking the first time in 20 years that Cena has taken on a heel persona. Cena made a series of appearances on overseas Raws but is not scheduled to appear again until WrestleMania 41.
The main event at WrestleMania 41 promises to be a historic one. Whether Cena achieves his 17th world title or Rhodes retains, the match will solidify both men’s legacies in WWE.
