John Cena made a shocking appearance at Monday Night Raw in Glasgow, Scotland this week, dropping a bombshell that has the wrestling world buzzing. After years of taking flak from fans—especially over his polarizing creation, the spinner belt—Cena revealed his master plan to get the last laugh. “He’s so pissed at the fans for dumping on him for all these years, notably over his greatest invention, the spinner belt, that he’s going to ruin pro wrestling for everyone,” as he laid out his scheme to a stunned audience.
So, what’s the plan? Cena intends to challenge Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 and win it—only to then retire with the title in his possession. “That way, they have to make a new toy one and live with the fact that he’s the last real champion,” he declared, a smirk on his face as the crowd roared with a mix of boos and cheers. It’s a move that would cement his legacy while leaving the WWE Universe in chaos, forced to reckon with a vacated title and a new championship design.
True to form, Cena’s already capitalizing on the moment. Merchandise tied to his audacious announcement is available now on WWE Shop, with the man himself plugging it during the show: “WWEShop.com.” The hustle never stops.
As WrestleMania 41 looms next month in Las Vegas, the buildup suggests Cena might just pull this off. “Considering the build, and how they’ve gone about this entire thing, it sure feels to me like Cena is going to win number 17,” I can’t help but speculate. Cody Rhodes may be riding high as the top babyface in WWE right now, but as the old adage goes, “the money is in the chase, right?” A Rhodes loss could set up an epic comeback story—while Cena rides off into the sunset with title number 17.
There’s an undeniable echo of CM Punk’s infamous 2011 “pipe bomb” saga here too, with Cena flipping the script on his own terms. “Plus, the story here — a bit of a nod to CM Punk all those years ago too — is just too good to pass up.” Whether you love him or hate him, John Cena knows how to keep us talking—and this diabolical twist might just be his greatest hustle yet.
