WrestleMania 41 ended in heartbreak for Cody Rhodes. Taking on John Cena in the Night 2 main event of the show of shows, Rhodes succumbed to a loss after an interference by Travis Scott saw John Cena win his record-breaking 17th world title in the WWE.
After his loss, Rhodes was seen walking away with his wife, Brandi, with the fans wondering what the future holds for the ‘American Nightmare’. It is worth noting that Rhodes broke the legendary title reign of Roman Reigns, who held the undisputed championship for several years. Rhodes beat all odds to take down Reigns at WrestleMania 40, defeating him in the Night 2 main event to win the title and be the undisputed WWE champion for 378 days.
However, his reign came to an end when John Cena defeated him in the main event on April 20, and many have opined that Rhodes could be on a hiatus from WWE after losing his title, and the same was more or less confirmed on Raw after Wrestlemania as well.
Randy Orton attacked the greatest of all time, John Cena, as he came out to flaunt his 17th world title. Both have had a rich history in the WWE in the past, taking on each other in several legendary matches over the years.
