In an unforgettable moment that will forever be etched in professional wrestling history, John Cena cemented his legacy as the greatest world champion of all time by defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 2 to claim his record-breaking 17th world championship.
The monumental victory, which took place in front of a roaring crowd of 63,226 fans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, surpassed the legendary Ric Flair’s longstanding record of 16 world title reigns, solidifying Cena’s place as the most decorated superstar in wrestling history.
The match was a dramatic back-and-forth battle, with Rhodes coming agonisingly close to retaining his Undisputed WWE Championship.
However, in a shocking twist, rapper Travis Scott interfered, distracting Rhodes long enough for Cena to hit the Attitude Adjustment for the historic three-count.

A career-defining triumph
At 47 years old, Cena’s victory defied expectations, proving that his in-ring prowess and connection with fans remain as strong as ever.
His journey to this moment spanned 23 years, from his debut in 2002 to multiple WrestleMania main events, Hollywood success, and now, the ultimate championship milestone.
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes, who had carried the title with pride as the face of WWE, was left stunned, raising questions about whether he will invoke his rematch clause in the coming weeks.

What’s next for WWE after WrestleMania?
With Cena now holding the Undisputed WWE Championship, the big question is: Who steps up next? Will Cody Rhodes demand a rematch?
Could Travis Scott become a recurring figure in WWE storylines? And with superstars like Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and Bron Breakker making waves, the road to SummerSlam is already heating up.
One thing is certain: WrestleMania 41 will be remembered as the night John Cena made history, proving once again why he is the ultimate embodiment of “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect”.
