Folks, history was made at WWE Elimination Chamber—but not in the way anyone expected. Instead of Cody Rhodes selling his soul to The Rock, John Cena did the unthinkable, turning heel for the first time in two decades and leaving Rhodes in a pool of his own blood. Cena. The Rock. Travis Scott. An unholy alliance.
It all started simple enough—Cena, fresh off his record-breaking Elimination Chamber win, stood in the ring as Rhodes came out to congratulate him. Then, out came The Rock and Travis Scott, looking like they just walked out of an Illuminati meeting, ready for Rhodes to acknowledge his fate.
The Rock, with the confidence of a man who always gets what he wants, told Rhodes it was time—time to become his champion, time to hand over his soul. And if he refused? “Then the dream dies again.”
Cena, standing behind Rhodes, looked visibly disgusted by The Rock’s speech. And then… Rhodes snapped.
🔥 “I gave my soul to this ring and these fans long ago… so go f* yourself!”** 🔥
The crowd LOST IT. Cena and Rhodes embraced in solidarity. It was a powerful moment. But then—
💥 LOW BLOW FROM CENA.
Cena hit Rhodes where the sun don’t shine, sending Toronto into absolute shock. And then, like a man who had been waiting for this moment for years, Cena picked up a Rolex that had fallen in the ring and bludgeoned Rhodes with it. He wasn’t done. He grabbed the Undisputed WWE Championship and smashed Rhodes in the skull until he bled. Then, in a move so ruthless even Vince McMahon probably winced, Cena wrapped Rhodes’ own tie around his neck and choked him out.
And just when it couldn’t get worse—The Rock pulled out the weight belt. The one with Dusty Rhodes’ date of death and “Cody’s Soul” inscribed on it. And then? WHIP. WHIP. WHIP.
The show ended with a bloodied, broken Rhodes lying motionless in the ring, Michael Cole checking on him like a concerned parent, while Cena, The Rock, and Travis Scott stood on the ramp, admiring their destruction.
Moral of the Story?
Cena just did what NO ONE thought he ever would—he turned his back on the fans, on his legacy, and on Cody Rhodes. And now? He’s riding into WrestleMania as the biggest villain in WWE.
