The WrestleMania 41, a.k.a the Grandest Stage of Them All, the Show of Shows, and whatnot, is finally in the books and left a bitter-sweet impression in the minds of WWE enthusiasts. John Cena, who appeared in his final WrestleMania on Sunday, defeated Cody Rhodes to become the record 17th-time WWE Champion. He was tied with Ric Flair at 16 for the longest time but following the victory over the American Nightmare, he has become the sole leader in the aspect. The result made all the sense as Cena turned heel after over two decades and since it was his final go at the Mania, the WWE universe also rooted for him to finish at the pinnacle. However, how it went down has left the fans deeply dissatisfied, especially after the masterpiece Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk delivered in the Night 1 main event.
John Cena's Underwhelming Title Win
Since it was The Rock, who orchestrated the whole John Cena heel turn at the Elimination Chamber, he was expected to interfere and projected to be instrumental in Cena winning the title, moreover, speculations were aloud about a Stone Cold Steve Austin potentially returning to stop Cena and The Rock. To the disappointment of the fans, no one returned and to a bigger scathing surprise, it was Travis Scott, who intervened and caused Cody to lose his title.
It came as an underwhelming affair as it only took one low blow and a belt on head to get the better of Cody Rhodes, the same superstar who went against all the odds to finish his story and beat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. If there is something volatile in the world, it has to be pro wrestling.

John Cena Roasts Media
While the main event did not satiate the entertainment quotient, John Cena's post-event presser managed to induce laughs. Remaining in the heel shade, John Cena addressed the questions of the media but had the same reply to all of them, "That seems like a clickbait question."
After belittling the media queries, he gave away something to look forward to. By calling himself the "last real champion", Cena told the media to head to Monday Night Raw tomorrow, where he will "ruin wrestling forever".
