“It’s a toxic dysfunctional relationship,” John Cena slams boorish Brussels crowd on Raw; cuts ties with everyone in scathing rant
Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect went berserk on ungrateful WWE fans in an emotional outburst to kick off Raw in Belgium.

With an unchanged entrance music, a classic tee with his farewell tour stop in Brussels emblazoned on it, John Cena was welcomed on this week’s Raw with a cascade of boos. The 8000-strong house in Forest National didn’t let the actor speak for a while, letting him know how much he sucked. Once Cena got to have his say, he didn’t hold himself back.
The Franchise Player slammed the WWE Universe for harboring an abusive relationship with him over the last 25 years. John noted that the fans relegated him to being their puppeteer, who was entitled to act the way they wanted. Having not dumped on them his entire career, Cena tried keeping things that way by doing something special, which led to the announcement of his WWE retirement tour.
But even that wasn’t enough for the fans, who kept wondering what they’d get in return without sparing a thought for how John has felt. The 47-year-old noted earlier that he wasn’t a babyface or a heel, but a human being. John was distraught at the fact that his so-called Cenation army has only taken from him, which to Cena is an awful behavior.

This, this, everybody, including that one kid right there is a toxic dysfunctional relationship.

The Peacemaker star also buried his ‘You Can’t See Me’ meme that’s been aching him for the last 15 years. John asserted that the fans have made him the butt of a stupid invisible joke that’s not even funny. He shattered a bunch of hearts when the 16-time World Champion claimed that he’s breaking up with every single entity of the WWE Universe, saying it doesn’t even matter to him anymore.
Cody Rhodes called John Cena a whiny bit*h in epic response
After the Ricky Stanicky actor had labeled his ties with the WWE fans toxic and dysfunctional, someone had to cut him off. Cody Rhodes, at last, made his way out. The Undisputed WWE Champion admitted that even though the fans may have treated Cena differently in different phases of his career, they’ve given their best to him as well.

It was the first interaction between Cena and Rhodes since the Elimination Chamber horrors. At the PLE, The Cenation Leader went low on Cody upon the behest of The Rock. As Rhodes mentioned in his Raw promo, despite Cena’s gory treatment of him, the former AEW EVP still wanted to listen to John.
"I was excited about going at it week after week with John Cena, but instead, I got this!

"You better go find John Cena because I want to face him, not this WHINY BITCH!"

But following John’s rant about the WWE Universe, Rhodes was in a fix. He pointed over to Cena’s T-shirt, which had a caricature of the Hollywood mogul saluting and sticking to his values. The Prodigal Son asked John where that version had disappeared to all of a sudden. Rhodes further told Cena to bring his real-self at WrestleMania 41, or else it’d force him into a premature retirement.
John Cena no-sold his burgeoning alliance with The Rock on Raw
The only glaring omission from John Cena‘s stunning address on Raw was The Rock. He didn’t care to explain his current standing with The Final Boss, on whose marching orders Cena stooped to unprecedented lows. The Great One initially presented Cody Rhodes with the offer of being his champion.

However, as the world saw at the Elimination Chamber, the 38-year-old denied Rock with authority. Instead of Cody, his former idol, Cena sold out to the Black Adam star. With still about five weeks to go until WrestleMania, the viewers could expect WWE to explore that side of the story too.
Curious to see if they explain the nature of the relationship between The Rock & John Cena.

What is Cena getting from The Rock?
What did "selling his soul" truly involve when it comes to The Rock?
Interesting few weeks ahead.
A recent report from WrestleVotes suggested that the company has a potential name in the pipeline to accentuate Cena’s alliance with Rock. One could sense that John is desperate to win the WWE title for the seventeenth time before riding off into the sunset. What better than having one of the TKO Board of Directors members by his side?
