John Cena Makes WWE History In The “Worst” WrestleMania Main Event
Written by djfrosty on April 22, 2025
To say WrestleMania 41 was a train wreck would be an understatement as fans of the WWE took to social media to let it be known that this year’s wrestling super bowl was one of thee worst in recent memory. However, having John Cena make history by winning his 17th World Heavyweight title in arguably the worst main event in WrestleMania history was the icing on the carrot cake.
According to Newsweek, John Cena’s historic win came at the end of what many felt was a slow and sluggish match between John Cena and former Undisputed Champion, Cody Rhodes. And though this was supposed to be John Cena’s final match in the WWE, having him walk away with the championship opens the door to more John Cena for the foreseeable future.
The “worst” WrestleMania main event comes a year after what many considered the “Best” WrestleMania main event, which saw Cody Rhodes defeat Roman Reigns to become the undisputed champion and featured appearances and interference from the likes of The Rock, The Undertaker, Seth Rollins, and others. This time around they got Travis Scott to attempt to help John Cena only to feel the wraith of Cody Rhodes in the square ring (that was kind of funny though). By winning the world title a 17th time, John Cena surpassed the legendary Ric Flair, who held the record as the 16-time World Heavyweight champion for decades.
Still, the entire weekend left a sour taste in the mouths of wrestling fans, and one has to wonder how WWE plans on righting the ship going forward. John Cena seems to know whatever he said post-WrestleMania would be held against him in the court of public opinion and instead opted to avoid talking about the “worst” WrestleMania main event in WWE history.
Per Newsweek:
Cena refused to answer any questions, instead opting to say that the questions were “clickbait” and were “lazy reporting.”
“I’m beginning to sense a pattern here, that you guys are just looking for headlines, so I’ll give you one,” Cena said. “Tune into Monday Night Raw to see how I ruin wrestling. And keep in mind that you are talking to the last real champion. Step your game up next time.”
Additionally, fans noted that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t show up despite seemingly being the catalyst to Cena becoming the villain.
Instead, fans were treated to a sluggish match with no variety that ended due to an interference from Travis Scott, who isn’t a wrestler.
Cena said that his goal is to ruin pro wrestling. And if he keeps this up, he just might.
How Trumpian of John Cena.
