Cena leaned into being a heel throughout the entire match and especially at the finish. Rapper Travis Scott came out to help Cena after Rhodes kicked out of a fourth Attitude Adjustment, pulling the ref out of the ring at one point to keep the “American Nightmare” from winning the match.

WWE got the result right in the main event of WrestleMania 41 by having a heel John Cena beat Cody Rhodes for the promotion's top title. Unfortunately, everything else around the match was historically bad. And frankly? Point the finger right at The Rock.

WWE WrestleMania 41 Night 2 ended with John Cena finally becoming a 17-time World Champion and dethroning Cody Rhodes.
