WrestleMania 41 promises to be one of the most significant events in WWE history, and the clash between John Cena and Cody Rhodes headlines Night 2. Set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 20, 2025, this match is already being billed as a generational battle: the established legend versus the reigning champion.
The Stakes:
Cody Rhodes, after years of pursuing the Undisputed WWE Championship, now defends it against John Cena, who seeks to break Ric Flair’s record with a 17th world title reign. This match is not just about gold—it’s about legacy. Cena is currently on what is being referred to as his farewell tour, adding even greater significance to this bout.
The Build-Up:
Following two years of Rhodes fighting against Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, WrestleMania 41 marks a new era. Rhodes is now the champion, and Cena’s return brings a different kind of pressure—facing one of WWE’s most resilient stars at the peak of his career.
