John Cena Turns Heel and Attacks Cody Rhodes After Rejecting The Rock’s Offer During Elimination Chamber

WWE Elimination Chamber delivered one of the most jaw-dropping moments in wrestling history as John Cena finally turned heel—ending his legendary babyface run with a vicious assault on Cody Rhodes.

The tension had been building ever since The Rock made his blockbuster proposal to Cody on SmackDown, offering to take him to new heights as his personal champion. But there was a catch—Cody had to give up his soul. That left the Undisputed WWE Champion with a massive decision heading into Toronto’s Elimination Chamber.

After Cena survived the brutal chamber match and secured his shot at Cody’s title at WrestleMania 41, The American Nightmare came down to the ring to confront him. Cena held the ropes open for Cody, the two exchanged a tense handshake, and then The Rock’s music hit.

The Great One wasn’t alone—he had Travis Scott by his side, and whatever Scott said to The Rock had to be bleeped. Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for.

The Rock spread his arms wide, expecting Cody to embrace his offer. Instead, Cody took one last look at the roaring crowd and made his decision loud and clear. “I want it all, Rock. My soul no longer belongs to me. You know why? Because I gave my soul to this ring and these people a long time ago.”

The Toronto crowd erupted, and John Cena applauded. But then Cody dropped the ultimate bombshell—“Hey Rock, go f** yourself.”* And that one wasn’t censored.

The arena exploded, and before anyone could process what was happening, Cena suddenly turned and laid Cody out with a Rolex shot to the head. The crowd was in shock—John Cena had just turned heel for the first time in his entire WWE career.

What followed was absolute destruction. Cena smashed Cody’s title belt across his face, leaving him bloodied in the middle of the ring. Then, in the most savage twist of the night, Cena and Travis Scott held Cody down while The Rock whipped him with the infamous weight belt engraved with Dusty Rhodes’ death date.

With Cody Rhodes left battered in the ring, The Rock, Cena, and Travis Scott exited together, marking one of the most surreal moments in WWE history.

Cena’s long-awaited heel turn has officially changed the landscape of WrestleMania 41—but the real question is, why did he do it?
