AND THE WAR BEGINS! Elimination Chamber was the night John Cena shocked the world by turning on Cody Rhodes and siding with The Rock. But SmackDown belongs to The American Nightmare, and last night, he made sure everyone knew it. In a raw, emotional promo, a black-eyed Cody fired back, vowing to stand by his virtues and values—even when his role model abandoned his values.

The Prodigal Son made it clear—he is ready to carry the weight of being WWE Champion for the rest of his life. But first, he wants answers. Why did John Cena, after nearly two decades at the top of WWE, choose to side with The Rock? The American Nightmare admitted this might be his biggest challenge yet, but that won’t stop him. He’s ready to take the fight to both megastars.

John Cena, clearly you want some. Come and get some!

The WWE Universe was fully behind the champion during his promo, making their feelings clear with loud “Cena sucks!” chants. Furthermore, Rhodes took a moment to acknowledge the unwavering support from the Philadelphia crowd, recognizing how they’ve always had his back. Now, as he prepares for the fight of his life against two Hollywood icons, he made one thing clear: he needs their support one more time.

With that, WWE has officially kicked off the build for the WrestleMania 41 main event. Cena is set to return to Monday Night Raw in Brussels, Belgium, in two weeks, setting the stage for the next chapter in this high-stakes battle between him and Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Now, all eyes are on how this story unfolds in the weeks leading up to The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Before Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton also took a shot at The Rock and John Cena on SmackDown

John Cena’s earth-shattering heel turn has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world. WWE legends and sports media personalities have all weighed in on the stunning events in Toronto. And last night on SmackDown, Randy Orton didn’t hold back on taking a massive shot at both The Rock and John Cena.

Kicking off SmackDown, Orton reflected on his epic return to Elimination Chamber, but he couldn’t resist taking a shot at the shocking alliance between The Rock and Cena. Orton pointed out that Cena spent over two decades at the top of WWE, only to suddenly decide to be a bottom for The Final Boss, a hilariously wild dig at the former WWE Champion.

For as long as I can remember every since I started in this business John Cena has been on the top of this profession… And now he’s just a bottom for The Rock.

Orton wasn’t the only legend to take a jab at Cena and The Rock. This week on Raw, CM Punk also called out both Hollywood stars in a scathing rant. It looks like WWE’s top stars are uniting against The Great One and The Cenation Leader in what could be a battle for control of WWE.
