At WWE Elimination Chamber 2025, The Rock’s attempt to form an alliance with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes was met with rejection. In response, The Final Boss enacted his backup plan—revealing John Cena as his chosen champion. Cena then delivered a shocking betrayal, viciously attacking Rhodes and solidifying his long-awaited heel turn. With this move, Cena is now set to challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Cena’s Social Media Reaction: A Dark Knight Reference
Known for posting cryptic, captionless images on Instagram and motivational quotes on Twitter, Cena wasted no time addressing his controversial turn—without using a single word.
On Monday, Cena posted an image of Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight, featuring the infamous quote:
“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
This reference to Dent’s transformation from a noble prosecutor to the criminal Two-Face seems to reflect Cena’s own shift from WWE’s ultimate hero to its most unexpected villain.
In addition to the Instagram post, Cena shared a thought-provoking message on Twitter/X:
“Have the discipline to do what needs to be done, especially when you don’t feel like it.”
While Cena’s posts don’t directly mention Elimination Chamber or WrestleMania 41, they align perfectly with his new storyline, reinforcing his betrayal of Rhodes as a necessary but difficult decision.
With Cena now positioned as The Rock’s champion and heading into WrestleMania as a villain for the first time in his career, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits his next move.
Have the discipline to do what needs to be done, especially when you don’t feel like it.
