John Cena had a dominant domain in the WWE universe for more than two decades, since he accumulated 16 world championships and several head of the main event of Wrestlemania.
On Saturday night, Cena broke the hearts of millions that grew up looking at him when he kicked the undisputed WWE champion, Cody Rhodes between his legs, after a Dwayne signal “The Rock” Johnson.

Cena won the men’s elimination chamber game when CM Punk passed out of their submission maneuver. Rhodes went down the entrance to congratulate Cena, and the two began to chat, in what seemed to be a friendly conversation. The rock interrupted the festivities and joined the two opponents of Wrestlemania in the ring.
The rock asked Rhodes if he would become “his champion” and “would sell his soul” to him. Rhodes turned to the “final boss” and told him to be “F — yourself.” Dinner seemed to be excited about what was happening, just like the crowd in Toronto. He hugged Rhodes, but looked at the rock long, who gave him the signal to beat Rhodes.

Cena was booed when Rock and Musical artist Travis Scott looked down while Cena beat Rhodes. Pro Wrestling fans were in shock in the Rogers Center and social networks.

Dinner had the opportunity to address his actions at the press conference after the event. He went to the podium, took the microphone and dropped it on the table. Then he came out without saying a word.
During most of the dinner career, he was the good guy in the ring. He built a massive fan base with phrases such as “Never Rate” or “Rise above hatred.” He was the first to grant 300 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and has the greatest amount of wishes granted in the history of the organization.

But as dinner embarks on his last year in Pro Wrestling, he will play a role that has not seen much: the heel. It will be a new beginning for fans who have only seen Cena receive cheers of the crowd.
