Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring John Cena and Cody Rhodes.
• John Cena Sr. is refusing to discuss his son’s shocking betrayal of Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber 2025.
Speaking to Bill Apter of WrestleBinge, Cena’s father made it clear he’s tired of the constant questions about Cena’s heel turn and alliance with The Rock.
Here’s what he said:
“I’m tired of guys like you, I’m tired of the other phone calls that I’m getting. I don’t know why he did what he did. You’re gonna have to get that from him. I am so tired of this. Why don’t we just let it play out and find out what’s happening?
A reporter is a reporter. Listen Bill Apter, ‘friend,’ enough is enough. Thanks! I won’t say what Cody Rhodes said to you, but what I will say is have a nice day and thanks for nothing.”
• Travis Scott joined forces with The Rock and John Cena to attack WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber.
Scott slapped Rhodes pretty hard. According to the Wrestling Observer, Travis injured Cody:
“Cody got hurt. I’m pretty sure it was Travis Scott that did it. I heard he had a busted eardrum and a black eye.”
Ric Flair’s son-in-law, Conrad Thompson, provided the following update on The American Nightmare on the 83 Weeks podcast:
“I saw the report earlier this week, I checked on Cody and I was like, ‘Dude, I saw it, but a burst eardrum? Are you okay, holy sh*t.’ He replied, ‘Didn’t touch me, I got a wild bruise somehow though’ and sent me a picture. I said, ‘Well damn, I’m glad you’re okay mostly.’ He jokingly said, ‘The horsemen got me.’
I just thought it was funny that Cody even now is like, ‘Ah, he didn’t touch me.’ Now of course we know, that’s not the case, he’s sporting a major black eye right now.
I don’t know if it’s true or not that he burst his eardrum but buddy, it is a brutal blow that we saw there.”
