In a moment that will be etched in WWE history forever, John Cena walked out of his final WrestleMania as the Undisputed WWE Champion—his record-breaking 17th world title win.
No one saw it coming. WrestleMania had already delivered its epic main event with Cody Rhodes finally dethroning Roman Reigns. Fans thought the story had ended. But WWE had one last chapter left to tell.
As the celebration quieted and the cameras stopped rolling, Cena’s iconic theme hit. The stadium erupted. With a Money in the Bank briefcase in hand, Cena charged to the ring. Cody, battered and emotional from his war with Reigns, didn’t even have time to process it. The referee called for the bell. AA. 1-2-3.
History was made.
John Cena—who many believed had already stepped away from full-time competition—chose this moment, this stage, to make one last stand. One final run. And he did it in legendary fashion. The torchbearer of a generation. The face of WWE for over two decades. The man who was counted out, again and again—rose one more time.
Cena stood atop the turnbuckle, championship raised high, soaking in the roar of 80,000 fans. Whether you cheered him or booed him, there was no denying it: the GOAT just did the unthinkable.
17-time World Champion. Final WrestleMania.
