John Cena Becomes 17-Time World Champion at WrestleMania 41 After Defeating Cody Rhodes

WrestleMania 41 ended with a historic moment as John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion, officially becoming a record 17-time world champion.


Cena capitalized on Rhodes’ refusal to cheat, landing a low blow and hitting him with the championship belt to secure the pinfall win in the main event.


Travis Scott Involved in Main Event Finish


Music superstar Travis Scott played a controversial role, pulling the referee out of the ring during a crucial moment. Though he was later taken out by a Cross-Rhodes, his interference paved the way for Cena's shocking victory and history-making title win in Las Vegas.


Becky Lynch Returns and Wins Gold


In a surprise return, Becky Lynch made her in-ring comeback after nearly a year away. She joined Lyra Valkyria to take on Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. The duo emerged victorious, crowning Lynch and Valkyria as the new Women’s Tag Team Champions.


IYO SKY Retains in Women’s World Title Match


Night two kicked off with a thrilling triple threat match where IYO SKY retained her Women’s World Championship against Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. Despite Belair hitting her KOD finisher, SKY landed a top-rope moonsault to steal the victory and end Belair’s undefeated WrestleMania streak.
