John Cena Makes Surprising Promise During WWE Raw in Scotland
John Cena vowed to win the world title at WrestleMania 41 and retire with it as revenge against fans, prompting Cody Rhodes to confront him.
John Cena has doubled down on his heel turn, promising to exact revenge on the WWE Universe by capturing and retiring with the world championship.
The 16-time world champion cut a scathing promo on the March 24 edition of Raw, continuing his surprising fan-directed tirade from last week.
Cena specifically referenced fan backlash to his spinner title, claiming the WWE Universe treated it like a toy and disrespected his reign.
His revenge plot now involves winning his record-breaking 17th world title at WrestleMania 41 before retiring with the belt and forcing WWE to create a new championship.
“I would ruin wrestling for everyone,” Cena declared, stating he’d be “the last true champion” and taking the title home with him.

The segment drew out Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who confronted Cena for making such claims while he was in the building.
Rhodes highlighted his own championship journey before symbolically placing the title down for Cena to take, but the veteran backed away from the challenge.
The American Nightmare had the last word, promising Cena would leave both WrestleMania and WWE “empty-handed” when all was said and done.
This confrontation sets the stage for what could be one of Cena’s final WWE storylines, with fans now wondering if the face that once ran the place might actually follow through with his villainous promise.
