Vince McMahon & Tony Khan Get Mentions In Fiery Cody Rhodes & John Cena Promo Battle On 3/31 WWE RAW

WWE is wrapping up a long European tour, and the O2 Arena hosted the March 31 episode of RAW. That was sure to be a big night, because John Cena was in the house once again.

John Cena has driven fans wild with his heel turn, unleashing pent-up frustration that he’s had for twenty years. Now that fans are on the road to WrestleMania 41, an Undisputed WWE Title match against Cody Rhodes was one of the hottest matches on the card.

John Cena opened up WWE RAW this week, and he didn’t get a word out before Cody Rhodes’ music hit. After the fans were finished singing, the two got down to their promo battle.

Cody Rhodes got to talk first, jumping ahead of Cena before he could speak. Instead, Cody Rhodes made fun of himself, including his lisp as he said “Stardust.” Then Rhodes brought up how he has an arm tattoo on his neck. Then Cody said that Cena has been lying to fans for the last few weeks, because he did care about them.

Cody invited Cena to tell fans why he really turned on them, and fans chanted “you sold out.” John Cena said that he’s not going to punch down to Cody’s level and reduce himself just to protect him. He also promised to bury Cody and not cook him, just like he’s buried everyone else. Then John Cena said he doesn’t bury talent, he is talent, he buries mediocrity.

John Cena then called out WWE for giving the top title to his chauffeur, and he also called him a slimy pick-pocket who stole every secret he could to be undeniable. Cena said that Cody is still underwhelming instead. He then said that Cody is the pied piper, who convinced fans to love his song and accept his mediocrity.

After John Cena called Cody Rhodes a nepo-baby, he then mocked him for getting that tattoo on his neck in the first place. Cena then said that Cody can buy a toy belt, because the last real champion is winning the title at WrestleMania 41.

Cody Rhodes said that the fans picked him, but one man in an office that we don’t talk about anymore because he’s not here picked Cena. That brought a big reaction from the crowd. Rhodes then said Cena has more dick in that promo than he does in his jorts and he didn’t leave WWE for the better when he left for Hollywood. Then Rhodes said that Cena sold out to The Rock, which brought “you sold out” chants from the fans once again.

After Cody Rhodes said that Cena is still his hero, he said he’s a “piece of sh*t,” and that brought out “piece of sh*t” chants once again. Cena then said that he’s made empires for billionaires, and all he’s done is steal money from their kids, which was a direct mention for Cody Rhodes and his father, but they didn’t name him.

As John Cena was leaving, Cody Rhodes said that fans have never chanted “you can’t wrestle” at him. That caused Cena to come back and he tried for a cheap shot, but Cody stopped him and nailed a Crossroads to lay Cena out.
