Original Plans Revealed for John Cena’s WWE Championship Win at WrestleMania 41

John Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber lit WWE on fire. Aligning with The Rock and Travis Scott was a moment nobody saw coming—and now, fans are left wondering where they’ve gone.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Travis Scott is still planned for WrestleMania 41 in some capacity, but “it’s unknown what he’ll be doing.” The Houston rapper played a key part in Cena’s turn, but hasn’t been seen or mentioned on WWE TV since that night.

As for The Rock? His status is even murkier. Despite being the one who helped Cena complete his dramatic shift, he hasn’t appeared once on WWE programming since the Elimination Chamber. The Observer notes that “everyone assumes he’ll be at WrestleMania in some form, but that hasn’t been confirmed.” WWE is reportedly keeping Rock’s name off TV unless he gives the go-ahead.

Behind the scenes, the original pitch was for “Rock to help John Cena win the title at the show.” With Cena now set to battle Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, all eyes are on whether this plan still stands—or if WWE is being forced to pivot last minute.

Cena, for his part, recently told PEOPLE that he’s not spoiling anything: “We’re in the middle of a very riveting season of episodic television and you are kindly asking me to give you spoilers, and I can’t do that.”

The road to WrestleMania is wide open, but one thing’s for sure—this story isn’t finished.

Will The Rock and Travis Scott show up to back Cena again? Or is John Cena walking into WrestleMania alone? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we’re watching.
