John Cena initiated a significant character shift, his first in two decades, by attacking Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber on March 1. This unexpected turn set a new course for Cena.
Following this, Cena defeated Rhodes, securing the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 on April 20. The Rock, anticipated to be involved, did not appear at the major event.
Wrestling personality Bully Ray recently offered his perspective on the ongoing storyline. He specifically addressed discussions surrounding the execution of Cena’s heel persona following these events.

Bully Ray believes a crucial element was missing due to The Rock’s non-appearance. “The reason why the John Cena heel turn feels like it didn’t live up to its expectations is because we didn’t get the conduit and the conjunction between The Rock,” he stated.
“Without Rock being there, it leaves a giant hole in this whole thing,” Bully Ray elaborated. He directly linked this absence to the storyline’s perceived impact and overall narrative coherence.
He further questioned the initial alliance seen at Elimination Chamber. “as to why John and The Rock were in the same place at the same time at Elimination Chamber,” Bully Ray remarked, highlighting the unresolved angle.
