• John Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber was a closely guarded secret.
Despite reports suggesting The Rock and Cody Rhodes’ segment would be mid-show, WWE always planned for it to be the main event, listing it earlier to avoid leaks.
Fightful Select revealed that Cena’s heel turn was kept under wraps, with only The Rock, Brian Gewirtz, and Triple H aware. Most in WWE were blindsided.
Additionally, Cena’s Elimination Chamber promotional poster featuring The Rock and Travis Scott was reportedly intentional foreshadowing. While The Rock’s WrestleMania 41 role isn’t confirmed, WWE expects his involvement.
Dustin Rhodes (Goldust) tweeted the following about Rock and Cena ganging up on Cody:
“Shame on you!!! BOTH OF YOU!!”
