WWE Hall of Famer May Join Cody Rhodes to Face John Cena

Ric Flair has issued a stern warning to John Cena regarding his upcoming Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. The 16-time world champion made his intentions clear through a passionate social media statement that combined celebration of his own legacy with a direct threat of physical intervention.

The WWE Hall of Famer took to Twitter to mark the 25th anniversary of what WWE recognizes as his 16th and final world championship victory. In his message, Flair reflected on his storied career before shifting focus to the current championship picture involving Cena.

It’s Been 25 Years Since I Won My Last, 16th World Championship, According To The @WWE . Blood, Sweat, And Tears! Harley Race, Bruiser Brody, Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Brett Hart, Undertaker, Ricky Steamboat. The List Is Endless Of World Class Opponents. Unparalleled! My 1984 Schedule Has Actually Been Called Impossible To Perform. 60 & 90 Minute Matches!

Let’s Get Serious! @JohnCena , I Love You And Respect You, But You Ain’t Taking Nothing From @CodyRhodes ! If I Have To Fight My Way Through Security To Hit The Ring, I Will. I’ll Take The Day Off Of Blood Thinners. LFG! Let’s Do This!

The situation stems from John Cena’s shocking heel turn at WWE Elimination Chamber, where he aligned himself with The Rock after securing a WrestleMania championship opportunity by defeating CM Punk. Following his victory, Cena and The Rock brutally attacked Cody Rhodes, establishing a dramatic shift in the WrestleMania landscape.

Flair’s threat to “fight through security” and even suspend his blood thinner medication indicates the seriousness with which he views this situation. The WWE legend’s connection to Rhodes runs deep, as Cody’s father, Dusty Rhodes, was one of Flair’s most celebrated rivals during their legendary careers.

This development adds another layer of intrigue to the already contentious championship match. With The Rock already positioned in Cena’s corner, Flair’s potential involvement could create a more balanced scenario, particularly if he follows through on his promise to physically intervene.

The wrestling community has responded with significant interest to Cena’s unexpected character change, including former WWE Superstar Ryback, who claimed to have predicted Cena’s eventual heel turn years ago. Now with Flair potentially entering the equation, the WrestleMania championship match continues to evolve into one of the most anticipated encounters in recent memory.
