John Cena ¡®sells his soul¡¯ to The Rock, betrays Cody Rhodes
Interestingly, this was an equally memorable event for Cody Rhodes but not in the way he wanted. His segment with The Rock was billed as one of the big highlights of Elimination Chamber 2025. Fans were eager to know if he would accept The Great One¡¯s offer and agree to be a ¡®Corporate Champion heading into the ¡®Show of Shows¡¯. Needless to say, the segment delivered the goods. Cody declined the offer in the most brutal way. However, in a shocking twist, Cene betrayed ¡®The American Nightmare¡¯ and sided with his former rival. This means he will be the bad guy heading into WrestleMania 41.
With Elimination Chamber 2025 out of the way, the focus now shifts to the grand event. The ¡®Showcase of the Immortals¡¯ promises to be one for the ages. Besides Cody and John Cena, Gunther and Jey Uso are some of the names slated to be part of the show. More names are likely to be added to the card in the weeks ahead.
