John Cena Fuels Speculation About Facing New Opponent Before WrestleMania 41 After Cody Rhodes’ RAW Attack

The wrestling world is trying to decipher the meaning behind John Cena’s latest social media activity following his embarrassing physical confrontation with Cody Rhodes on Monday Night RAW. The 16-time world champion has finally broken his silence after being left laying in the ring, but in typical Cena fashion, he’s done so in the most enigmatic way possible.

Rhodes gained a significant psychological advantage during their heated RAW segment when he reversed Cena’s surprise attack attempt and delivered a devastating Cross Rhodes to his WrestleMania opponent. After the humbling moment, fans eagerly awaited Cena’s response, which finally came in the form of a captionless Instagram post featuring Randy Orton. The image shows only the back of Orton performing his signature pose in the corner of the ring, offering no direct commentary on the RAW confrontation.

While the timing suggests this could be a birthday acknowledgment for Orton, the post has sparked speculation about potential future storylines. Cena and Orton haven’t faced each other in singles competition since 2017, and with Orton sitting at 14 world championship reigns compared to Cena’s 16, a potential rivalry could reignite if Cena manages to capture the title at WrestleMania 41 and break Ric Flair’s record.

As WrestleMania approaches, this cryptic post adds another layer of intrigue to what’s already shaping up to be a monumental championship match. Whether Cena is subtly acknowledging his RAW defeat, teasing future plans, or simply wishing a former rival happy birthday remains unclear – which is exactly how the master of the “You Can’t See Me” taunt likes to keep things heading into wrestling’s biggest showcase.
