John Cena walks out of WWE Conference

The WWE Elimination Chamber event ended with Cena turning heel and siding with The Rock, attacking Cody Rhodes.

John Cena’s unexpected heel turn at the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 event on Saturday night stunned the wrestling world.

The incident took place at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where a record-breaking 38,493 fans witnessed Cena’s first true villainous turn after two decades as one of WWE’s most celebrated faces.

The event, which is part of Cena’s year-long farewell tour, also set new records for gross revenue and sponsorship sales in Canada, according to WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H.

Following his victory inside the chamber, Cena appeared to be on course for a WrestleMania showdown with Rhodes. However, when Rhodes entered the ring to congratulate him, The Rock and rapper Travis Scott interrupted.

The Cena embraced Rhodes, only to suddenly deliver a low blow at The Rock’s signal. He then launched a vicious assault, leaving Rhodes battered and bloodied as the stunned WWE Universe looked on.

With WrestleMania just weeks away, the fallout from his betrayal is sure to dominate WWE storylines.
