Cody Rhodes Obliterates John Cena in Shocking WWE RAW Showdown
Cody Rhodes and John Cena faced off in an intense verbal and physical confrontation during WWE RAW in London, setting the stage for their WrestleMania 41 match.
The tension between two of WWE’s biggest stars reached boiling point during Monday’s edition of RAW in London. Cody Rhodes wasted no time interrupting John Cena’s opening segment, creating one of the most electric moments in recent memory. The crowd erupted as the Undisputed WWE Champion made his way to the ring, clearly not interested in letting Cena control the narrative.
Rhodes grabbed the microphone and immediately went on the offensive, offering Cena some material for potential mockery including references to his Stardust character and neck tattoo. He didn’t stop there, calling out Cena’s recent heel turn as disingenuous and suggesting that deep down, Cena still cared about the fans. “In the fondo, todavía le importaban,” Rhodes stated frankly while looking Cena directly in the eyes.
The 16-time world champion fired back with venom, accusing Rhodes of having an inflated ego and building his success in Cena’s shadow. “You’re nothing but a fraud who has spent years copying the best,” Cena declared, promising to defeat Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 and expose him to the world. The exchange grew more personal when Rhodes countered by pointing out that while he was chosen by the fans, Cena was a corporate selection from the office.
The heated exchange reached its climax when Rhodes caught Cena off guard with a Cross Rhodes as the latter attempted a physical attack. Standing tall with the championship held high over his fallen opponent, Rhodes made his intentions crystal clear heading into their WrestleMania showdown. This confrontation marks a significant escalation in what has become one of WWE’s most personal rivalries.
