Cena’s colleagues are in just as much disbelief as the WWE Universe

Deciding to sell his soul to the Final Boss, The Rock, Cena formed a trio with Travis Scott and laid the beating of a lifetime into Cody Rhodes. Holding nothing back, former WWE Superstar and wife to the American Nightmare, Brandi Rhodes, took to X to voice her opinion.

As the WWE Universe still come to grips with witnessing the hero of a lifetime turn his back on the fans, two of the 16-time World Champion’s colleagues are in just as much shock. R-Truth, who has gone on record claiming Cena to be his childhood hero despite being older than the Champ, has posted to X. Alongside Truth, announcer Jackie Redmond is in just as much disbelief at what unfolded in Toronto.

From disbelief to adoration and jealousy, not every WWE Superstar was shocked at what they saw. Drew McIntyre, who has become WWE’s number-one hater, has always been on the ball when it comes to hilarious posts on X. One of the better social media users in the company, the Scotsman aimed his night’s frustration at two of the three members of the Elimination Chamber’s main event. Joining in on the act, Bronson Reed also made it clear that he loved what he saw.

No longer a WWE Superstar, former WWE Internet Champion, Zack Ryder (now known as Matt Cardona) felt his fair share of pain at the hands of Cena when he was walking the corridors of the WWE. Most notably, the pair were at the centre of a love triangle involving WWE Diva Eve, with Ryder reminding the WWE Universe that Cena has always been a bad guy.

Having set up his stall after his Royal Rumble disappointment, Cena lived up to his promises. Telling fans that he would enter the Chamber and win because he needed to main event WrestleMania and win his record-breaking 17th World Title, the Champ manifested his success into existence.

Turning his back on Rhodes in the most remarkable fashion, the pair will now main event the Showcase of Immortals in April. Rhodes, who had to withstand the presence of The Rock last year, will now have to deal with two Hollywood heels as he continues to cement himself as one of the greatest babyfaces in the history of WWE.
