John Cena turns heel: 1 confirmed, 2 potential feuds for the GOAT after Elimination Chamber 2025
John Cena, who turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025, is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed title at WrestleMania. Besides this, he might have a few more high-profile bouts in what is his final year as a WWE performer.
Elimination Chamber 2025 ended on a shocking note as John Cena turned heel for the first time in over two decades by attacking Cody Rhodes after winning the titular match. The soon-to-retire star sided with The Rock on the road to his final WrestleMania. With that, he is a look at what lies ahead for the leader of Cenation.
A feud with Cody Rhodes
Let¡¯s begin by getting the obvious one out of the way. Cena is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for his Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41. Given the fact that he brutalised and busted open the former Stardust at the Elimination Chamber event, one can expect their showdown at the ¡®Showcase of the Immortals¡¯ to be a deeply personal affair. The Rock¡¯s involvement in it is likely to make it more intriguing.
John Cena to revive his rivalry with CM Punk?
John Cena won the Elimination Chamber match in the most unimpressive manner when he applied the STF submission hold to CM Punk shortly after Seth Rollins delivered a devastating Curb Stomp to the ¡®Best in the World' is expected to led to some tension between Punk and Cena somewhere down the line.
Given their impressive chemistry in the Elimination Chamber match, they might even feud over the Undisputed Championship if the former ¡®Doctor of Thuganomics¡¯ emerged victorious at WrestleMania 41. The two put on several classics nearly a decade ago during the ¡®Summer of Punk¡¯ arc and haven't missed a beat since. As such, this potential feud too may prove to be one for the ages.
John Cena to face ¡®The Final Boss¡¯?
Keeping in mind Cena¡¯s popularity, he is unlikely to end his career as a heel.This suggests that he may turn face once again towards the end of the year and try to redeem himself in the eyes of the WWE Universe. All of this could lead to a feud between him and The Rock. This could culminate in their third meeting in the ¡®Squared Circle¡¯. They had earlier competed against each other at WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29.
