The showdown has finally arrived.
After the shocking events of the 2025 Elimination Chamber − when John Cena turned heel and joined forces with The Rock to go on a brutal assault of Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes − the two stars in the main event WrestleMania 41 will meet for the first time since the unforgettable night.
Rhodes and Cena will come face-to-face on Monday Night Raw in what will a must-see event. Will any more punches be thrown? Will The Rock appear again? There’s no doubt the heat is rising ahead of their title match next month.
The face-off won’t be the only thing happening on Monday with the Intercontinental Championship on the line and a no holds barred match taking place. It’s set up to be another big night for WWE fans, but it will be happening at a different time than normal since the company is currently on its European tour. To make sure you don’t miss anything, here’s how to ensure you don’t miss a thing on Monday:
John Cena takes the mic
After soaking in the moment, Cena finally spoke and said he was tired of being a puppet for the crowd for his entire career. He said he isn’t a babyface or heel, but a human being and fans have been “awful” to him. The crowd had some expletive chants for him in between words.
He added he wasn’t liked when his career started and by the time fans started to like him, it quickly became negative and the amount of times he won still didn’t satisfy people. When he started his farewell tour, he wanted to give back to the fans but he said they easily ruined it. Alluding to his entrance song, he said his time is now.
“No matter what I do, it’s never enough and you should all be ashamed of yourself. All you ever do is take,” Cena said. “Not one of you sons of (expletive) asked how I feel.”
Even though there were some fans still voicing their support for Cena, the 16-time WWE champion called them out. He said they were just as bad as the ones booing him since he believes he was just their toy, and even referenced the long running joke of Cena being invisible. He said you can’t buy hustle, loyalty and respect while he lives in.
“I’m breaking up with you. I’m done,” Cena said as he looked into the camera and crowd. “I don’t care about you. You don’t matter to me.”
