Roman Reigns Could Make Shocking Announcement After The Rock and John Cena's Alliance
The Final Boss selects John Cena as his corporate champion at Elimination Chamber, potentially triggering Roman Reigns’ WWE departure amid perceived family betrayal.

The Rock made a significant power move at Elimination Chamber by selecting John Cena as his corporate champion, a decision that could have major implications for Roman Reigns’ WWE future. This development follows The Final Boss’ return to WWE last month, when he declared his intention to install a champion who would work directly for him.
The apparent betrayal from The Rock toward his cousin could potentially drive Roman Reigns away from WWE. Since returning in August last year, Reigns has fought tirelessly to reclaim the Ula Fala and restore his family’s legacy. The Rock’s choice to select John Cena instead of his own blood relative to challenge Cody Rhodes suggests a profound lack of trust in Reigns.
This perceived act of treachery could leave the Original Tribal Chief feeling betrayed and abandoned. The Rock’s decision effectively communicates that he doesn’t trust his own cousin with this crucial task, potentially causing significant emotional damage to Reigns. Given these circumstances, Reigns might choose to distance himself from the situation entirely.
A plausible scenario could see Reigns departing WWE following WrestleMania 41, potentially shifting his focus toward Hollywood pursuits. This absence could last several months, coinciding with The Final Boss establishing his dominance through his corporate champion, John Cena.
The narrative could then set up Reigns for a dramatic return at the height of The Rock’s reign of terror. This homecoming would position Reigns as the rightful heir attempting to reclaim his position and end his cousin’s tyrannical rule over WWE.
While such developments would create compelling storytelling opportunities, it’s important to note that this potential direction remains purely speculative at this point. The actual creative plans for Reigns, The Rock, and Cena may differ significantly from these projections.
