The 16-time World Champion posted a mysterious image on Instagram featuring an edited meme of Stone Cold Steve Austin with the words “Stone Cold Soul” written across it.
This cryptic post comes directly after Cena’s unexpected heel turn during the premium live event. After Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, he and Rhodes shared what initially appeared to be a moment of mutual respect in the ring.
The situation dramatically changed when The Rock and Travis Scott made their entrance. The Final Boss demanded Rhodes “sell his soul,” which the Undisputed WWE Champion firmly rejected.
Cena initially seemed supportive of Rhodes’ decision before delivering a devastating low blow that shocked the audience. The former face of WWE then aligned himself with The Rock as they brutally attacked Rhodes, leaving him bloodied in the center of the ring.
This betrayal marks a significant character shift for Cena, who has been positioned as WWE’s premier hero for nearly two decades. His Instagram post, typical of his often-enigmatic social media presence, appears to acknowledge his new villainous direction.
With WrestleMania approaching, this alliance between Cena and The Rock creates major implications for the upcoming event card and championship picture.
