John Cena stunned the WWE Universe at Elimination Chamber by turning heel and joining forces with The Rock. The shocking moment prompted Charlotte Flair to share a brief but telling reaction on social media.
The 16-time World Champion completed his dramatic character shift after winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber match in Toronto.
Cena’s victory came under controversial circumstances when Seth Rollins attacked CM Punk after being eliminated, allowing Cena to make Punk pass out with the STF submission.
The real shock came in the aftermath when Cody Rhodes refused The Rock’s offer to “sell his soul,” triggering Cena’s unexpected attack on The American Nightmare.
Travis Scott also participated in the assault, joining The Rock and Cena in a brutal beatdown on Rhodes.
The heel turn was particularly stunning considering Cena is currently on his retirement tour after announcing 2025 would be his final year as an active competitor.
Charlotte Flair, like many WWE stars and fans, appeared genuinely shocked by the development. She reacted with a simple one-word message on social media:
Wow
Wow.

Meanwhile, Cena’s heel turn has established his WrestleMania 41 match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
With The Rock now supporting Cena, the odds of The Cenation Leader capturing his record-breaking 17th world championship have significantly increased.
