Nash analyzed why he knew the outcome would not favor Cena, who sought to earn his 17th World Championship opportunity.
I’ve been around this a long time, like very close to it, and you just know. I just, I didn’t like it, especially when John came down and took off his shirt and he didn’t have a tan. I was like, ‘This is not going to be his way into WrestleMania with no tan,'” Nash said.
Jey Uso won the 30-man match and selected Gunther as his opponent for WrestleMania 41. Following the Royal Rumble, Cena announced his participation in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match for a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship, where he faces Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Damian Priest, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre.
