WWE WrestleMania 41: 20 Things That Must Happen
1. John Cena Becomes WWE Champ
Remember the deflated look on Cody's face when he lost to Roman at WrestleMania 39? Well, keep it in mind, because there's a solid chance you're going to see it all over again at 41. No, Rhodes wouldn't be dropping the WWE Title after a year due to failure. Far from it. He's been a great champion, and this won't be his last hurrah on top with the main belt. Believe it.
John Cena's looming retirement and talks of him beating Ric Flair's 16-time brag by becoming a 17-time World Champ have dominated conversation since he announced his plans to call it a day at the end of 2025. Then, JC turned heel at Elimination Chamber in early-March and it seemed nailed on that he'd get to hold at least one more World Title before hanging up his boots.
He should taste success at 'Mania 41 by shattering Cody's year long dream.
You wouldn't be able to move for the feedback and photos should Cena win the WWE Title then pose with a returning Rock to close this year's weekender. Whether people loved it or hated it, they'd be tuning in to see what happened next on the Raw after WrestleMania. That's all WWE will care about - they want to keep people glued to this stuff for as long as they can.
Mapping out a crushing defeat for a popular champion and vindication on Cena's part for going rogue accomplishes that. 'The Champ Is Here' would ring out into the night time air once more. Then, onto the next chapter of John's lengthy retirement tour.
