The Rock had a master plan all along, which he revealed at the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event. It was not just a plan, but it sent shockwaves across the landscape of the entire professional wrestling world.
After Cody Rhodes outrightly rejected The Rock’s offer to sell out and become his champion, The Final Boss turned to John Cena standing in the ring as well. He signaled The Cenation Leader, and he low-blowed Rhodes, cementing his heel turn.
Cena, Rock, and Travis Scott left Cody Rhodes beaten and battered in the middle of the alliance. In doing so, John has left millions disappointed who looked up to him. However, The Rock’s actions of corrupting Cena and using his power as The Final Boss have attracted the ire of another top WWE superstar who has never been afraid to challenge authority. So he could be bigger threat to worry about rather than Rhodes at the moment.
The Rock has another WWE superstar ready to take him down
On the March 3rd edition of Monday Night RAW, CM Punk opened the show with anger on his face and ready to drop a pipebomb following the events that went down at the WWE Elimination Chamber PLE. His targets were none other than The Rock and his new accomplice who abandoned all his principles of ‘Hustle, Loyalty and Respect’, John Cena.
The Best in the World launched a verbal tirade on both of them. He called The Final Boss a ‘bald fraud’ who is engulfed in his power as a TKO Board member. But Punk made it clear that despite his position, he was not immune from his verbal assault and even called him out for being in a stage of mid-life crisis.
Listen up, Dwayne, you bald fraud! You think that just because you are on the Board of Directors that you are immune from criticism. Well, You don’t know who you’re dealing with, you’re dealing with the Best in the World.
“LISTEN UP DWAYNE YOU BALD FRAUD! YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU’RE DEALING WITH, YOU’RE DEALING WITH THE BEST IN THE WORLD!”
“I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DESPERATE TO WEAR A FAKE TITLE!”

Punk’s words for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hinted that he will be crossing paths with him sooner rather than later. The Second City Saint then shifted his radar to John Cena, who Punk believed stole his WrestleMania main event opportunity.
He buried Cena by also calling him a “fraud” and selling lies to the WWE Universe for twenty years. Moreover, CM Punk claimed that he had already seen Cena’s real side, and now the fans also see it, hinting at dealing with him later on the road to WrestleMania 41.
John Cena sold his soul to The Rock
While The Rock and John Cena might have CM Punk looming in the shadows on the road to WrestleMania 41, the events of the Elimination Chamber became a game-changing moment in WWE history. It happened right after John Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match and earned the right to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
The American Nightmare came down to the ring to congratulate the 16-time WWE Champion on his win. But it was quickly interrupted by the arrival of The Rock and Travis Scott, who came to hear Cody’s answer to his offer. When Rhodes refused to sell his soul to him, The Rock signaled Cena to take him out, and he did exactly that to turn heel.
This moment was a huge shocker as the fans had never expected Cena to go rogue on the final run of his WWE career, although he had been an ultimate heel once during his prime. Regardless, Cena has now sided with a powerful ally like The Rock in his desperate bid to win his 17th World Championship before drawing the curtain on his illustrious WWE career.
