John Cena shocked the world by turning heel at the Elimination Chamber 2025 Premium Live Event (PLE) after securing a win in the titular match. He attacked Cody Rhodes, the man he will challenge for the Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41,? on The Rock¡¯s instructions and left the ¡®American Nightmare¡¯ busted wide open. This made the road to the ¡®Show of Shows¡¯ intriguing and opened the door for some potential returns. One of the men who might get involved in the bitter feud is none other than Ric Flair.?
John Cena, who turned heel for the first time in 20 years, is currently tied with Ric Flair for most number for world titles. Both stars have won the coveted title 16 times in their career. The soon-to-retire Cena will get an opportunity to break the Hall-of-Famer¡¯s record when he fights Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. 'The Nature Boy has now reacted to this. . He recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter)? to state that he is rooting for Rhodes, making it clear he is not a fan of the GOAT¡¯s heel avatar.?
?This suggests that Ric Flair may get involved in Cena and The Rock¡¯s feud with Cody Rhodes somewhere on the road to WrestleMania. At 76, the ¡®kiss stealer¡¯- who suffered a heart attack during his farewell match in 2022-? is unlikely to be cleared to wrestle or even take too many bumps. As such, one can rule out the possibility of any physical alterations between Flair and Cena-Rock.?
However, he can still add a lot to the feud in non-wrestling segments. His mic skills are considered to be his biggest asset. As such, a potential segment between him and Cena¨Cwho is a pro at delivering promos¨C may just be what the doctor ordered on the road to WrestleMania 41.
The WrestleMania 40 main event, which featured Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, boasted run-ins from the likes of The Undertaker and Solo Sikoa. Given the intense nature of this year¡¯s biggest feud, one can expect Cody Rhodes and John Cena¡¯s match to be no different. If this is indeed the case, Ric Flair may try to cause a distraction and help Dusty¡¯s son get the upper hand. This, however, is a purely hypothetical situation as of now.?
