John Cena will headline his final ever WrestleMania in an WWE Undisputed Championship match against Cody Rhodes.
Cena won the men’s Elimination Chamber match by making old rival CM Punk pass out in his STF submission manoeuvre to secure his spot at next month's showcase of the immortals in Las Vegas.
Rhodes confronted his WrestleMania 41 opponent right after his match and, following a handshake between the pair, The Rock's music hit and he made his way to the ring accompanied by Travis Scott.
Rock wanted Rhodes to become 'his' champion but was instead told to "go **** yourself".
It was Cena who would align himself with the 'Final Boss' in a shocking turn of events, first delivering a low blow to Rhodes following an embrace, hitting him in the head with a watch and then the Undisputed Championship belt before choking Rhodes out with his own tie.
Cena and Scott then held Rhodes down for The Rock to whip him with his custom made weightlifting belt. The closing shots of Elimination Chamber 2025 was of Rock and Cena looking back at Rhodes who had blood pouring down his face.
SPEECHLESS. 💔

The women’s Elimination Chamber match kicked off the event as Jade Cargill made her return having not been seen since being attacked on Smackdown back in November.
Making her way to the ring, it appeared Cargill had her eyes set on Liv Morgan, who was seen leaving the scene with tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez after the attack on her.
But Cargill instead launched a vicious attack on Naomi, who she teamed up with at WrestleMania last year, rendering her unable to compete. Everyone inside the Rogers Arena was left in shock. Does this mean Naomi has been the guilty party all this time?
JADE CARGILL IS BACK!

With no replacement for Naomi, the match instead turned into a fatal five-way and Bianca Belair emerged victorious after last eliminating Liv Morgan to earn herself a Women's World Championship match against either Rhea Ripley or Iyo Sky, depending on the result of their title bout on the March 3 episode of Monday Night Raw.
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus teamed up with WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton to successfully beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.
Elsewhere on the undercard, Sami Zayn battled Kevin Owens in front of a hometown crowd in a brutal 'Unsanctioned Match' that featured the use of tables, hockey sticks, a ring bell and a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire.
Owens eventually got the win by power-bombing Zayn on the ring apron - a throwback to their NXT days - but was prevented from doing further damage by a returning Randy Orton, who gained a measure of payback on the man who put him on the shelf for months by hitting a devastating RKO before being intercepted by WWE officials as he lined up a punt kick.
