John Cena makes history at WrestleMania 41
John Cena made history last month at WrestleMania 41 by defeating Cody Rhodes to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion. This victory marks Cena’s 17th world title, surpassing Ric Flair’s long-standing record of 16 championship reigns.
Cena’s win solidifies his status as WWE’s most decorated champion, and the milestone adds another iconic chapter to his legendary career.
A dramatic post-match moment
In what he claimed would be his final WrestleMania appearance, Cena’s post-match actions spoke volumes. The newly crowned champion entered the post-show media conference with a dramatic flair, tossing Cody Rhodes’ nameplates to the floor and placing the coveted title belt on the podium. His symbolic gesture made it clear that his victory was not just about the belt but also about asserting his dominance in WWE history.
