The Elimination Chamber PLE featured a groundbreaking moment, as promised by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque. In the final segment, John Cena, who had just won the men’s Elimination Chamber match, shockingly turned heel on Cody Rhodes, influenced by The Rock. This marked Cena’s first major character shift since 2003, a significant moment in his WWE career. Popular streamer IShowSpeed reacted to the moment, visibly stunned, repeatedly expressing disbelief that Cena had become a villain.
IShowSpeed, a longtime fan of Cena, even joked about confronting the Peacemaker actor for his actions against Rhodes. His admiration for Cena was evident last month when Triple H invited him to live-stream the Royal Rumble. During the event, Speed eagerly sought to meet Cena backstage but missed the opportunity. Despite this, he participated in the 30-man Royal Rumble match, replacing Akira Tozawa after Carmelo Hayes attacked Tozawa.
Speed’s Rumble experience was short-lived, as he fell victim to Bron Breakker’s spear and was quickly eliminated. This left him disappointed, especially since he didn’t get to interact with Cena, who was competing in his final Royal Rumble match. That night, Jey Uso eliminated Cena, securing his spot at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
The event highlighted Cena’s dramatic heel turn and Speed’s brief but memorable WWE involvement. Fans were left buzzing about Cena’s character change and Speed’s unexpected appearance in the ring. Both moments added to the excitement of WWE’s ongoing storylines.
John Cena chose not to utter a word after that heel turn
When everything seemed perfect, John Cena shocked the world by turning heel. After the Elimination Chamber ended, fans were left wondering why their beloved ‘GOAT’ had taken such a drastic step. The Cenation Leader appeared at the post-show press conference, sat down, dropped the mic, and walked away without a word. This bold move made it clear that Cena owed no explanations for his actions.
Cena’s alliance with The Rock was revealed, with The Rock confirming during the presser that Cena was heading to Africa to continue filming. The Rock, set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE title at WrestleMania 41, hinted at Cena’s involvement in the buildup. Cena is scheduled to appear on Raw for three consecutive Mondays, starting March 17 in Brussels, adding to the anticipation.
This unexpected twist has left fans eagerly awaiting Cena’s next moves. His silence and alliance with The Rock have sparked intense speculation about his role in the road to WrestleMania. The wrestling world is buzzing with excitement as Cena’s character shift promises to reshape WWE’s storytelling.
