00:00The last time is now, in his final year in the ring, the self-proclaimed last real champion, John Cena,
00:07will attempt to enthrone the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes, as the undisputed WWE Champion, right after this break.
00:13Right now, here's the breakdown of the jaw-dropping moments that have shocked the world as John Cena closes out his career in pursuit of a record 17th world title.
00:30My name is John Cena. I'm a kid who grew up in a small town in West Newberry.
00:37Ruthless aggression.
00:40The champ is here!
00:442025 will be my retirement from the WWE.
00:49Thank you so much for letting me play in the house that you built for so many years.
00:57John Cena's going to WrestleMania!
01:00Hit an opportunity to win a 17th world title!
01:06Cody Rhodes, if you become my champion,
01:09I can open up doors and possibilities for you that you never knew existed.
01:16I gave my soul to these people a long time ago!
01:22Thank you!
01:30Hustle!
01:43Loyalty!
01:44Respect!
01:46After everything he's accomplished in his career, he's got a stupid condition!
01:49You want some?
01:51You want some?
01:51Come, get some!
01:54What is best for business is our main event, WrestleMania.
01:57You can't see me!
02:00What is best for business?
02:02I never back down and I never quit!
02:06I win a 17th championship.
02:07The champ is here!
02:12For 25 years, I've been the victim of an abusive relationship.
02:29I don't need you anymore.
02:33For 25 years, you only care about yourselves.
02:39I don't care about you.
02:42At WrestleMania, I make history.
02:47I will win that championship and retire with it.
02:5217 does not happen.
02:55But what does happen is I get the heartbreaking privilege of beating my hero in his last chance.
03:03You, with that, disgusts me.
03:08All you have done here is ride the coattails of my success.
03:14You sat by my side for years and stole every secret.
03:20You are a common fan like them.
03:24I was chosen.
03:27But you know who chose me?
03:29They chose me.
03:30John, I am standing right here.
03:33I am holding this above my head.
03:36At WrestleMania 41, the last real champion is taking that whole battle.
03:4017 does not happen.
03:43I am going to ruin wrestling for everyone.
03:50This stays with us.
04:00Let's go.
04:17Let's go.
04:26Let's go.
05:27It is his final year of active competition in WWE, and he vows tonight to win a record 17th world title.
05:42But the odds do not vote well for John Cena.
05:49His last singles win was seven years ago.
05:53His last singles win at WrestleMania was ten years, a decade ago.
06:00And just a look of disgust and disdain on the face of Cena as he looks over this audience.
06:14And tonight's main event is brought to you by Drumstick, the official partner of WrestleMania, and America's favorite sundae cone.
06:27There's only one ultimate snack that's chocolatey, creamy, crunchy, and crispy in its drumstick.
06:32The Snackdown champion.
06:36Those things are so good.
06:38Wade, we talked—I'm sorry, Pat.
06:40Wade, we talked on the Countdown show today.
06:42You give John Cena absolutely no chance to win tonight.
06:45Yeah, look, you've called John Cena time and again the GOAT, the greatest of all time.
06:50That is an argument that you can make based on his history.
06:54The truth is, if you do agree that he's the GOAT, we haven't seen the GOAT version in seven or eight years.
07:01He's lost his last three matches at WrestleMania, I believe.
07:04When was the last time he actually won a singles match in WWE?
07:08This man is a shadow of his former self.
07:31Wrestling has more than one royal family.
08:01A dream of a man in my soul
08:15Every fight out of control
08:18Do it all to get them off the beat
08:22Gravity about to blow
08:27Waiting for me to start the show
08:30Never gonna like the world from home
08:34Whoa
08:35When I was dead
08:40When I was younger
08:43I'm just freezing to me
08:47Yeah
08:47You took it all away, I give it all away
08:52To take my freedom
08:54Didn't change the game, I better, better play
08:58I built my kingdom
09:00Now you're bound to see
09:03You took my dreams and done my game
09:06You'll follow me until the end
09:10I am my kingdom
09:12Lights go down, I'm ready now
09:15Dailing through, I fall to town
09:18Gonna give them what they came to see
09:22Hear the crowd on their toes
09:27Ready for me to start the show
09:30And the kind of lights go up from home
09:34Well ladies and gentlemen
09:44The Drumstick Squad has taken over the Wrestlemania main event
09:47Leading the charge is the OG Drumstick Coat
09:50He's dancing, he's dabbing and he's dripping in deliciousness
09:53This Las Vegas crowd can't get it up
09:55But that's why Drumstick is America's favorite
09:57It's crunchy, chocolatey, creamy and crispy
09:59What more can he ask for?
10:01Drumstick is the ultimate snack
10:03Well ladies and gentlemen
10:05Cody Rhodes' mother Michelle
10:07His lovely wife Randy and his daughter Liberty
10:09Are in the front row tonight
10:11Cody Rhodes and his daughter Liberty
10:13Soon to be three in his arms
10:15Looking on as her daddy
10:18Tries to stop John Cena
10:20From making history tonight
10:22There's his sister as well
10:24Cena trying to win a 17th world championship
10:27That would break the record
10:28That he now holds with the Nature Board
10:30Ric Flair for Cody Rhodes
10:33It is about being the man
10:35It is about being the quarterback
10:37It is about leading WWE
10:39Into the next generation
10:41Something that John Cena
10:42Did over a decade ago
10:44Cody Rhodes hopes to keep the title
10:47John Cena hopes to steal it away
10:49It is our main event
10:51It is our main event
10:51Of Wrestlemania
10:53The following contest scheduled for one fall
11:02Is for
11:04The undisputed WWE Championship
11:13Introducing first
11:20The challenger
11:23From West Newbury, Massachusetts
11:30Wing in at 251 pounds
11:36John Cena
11:41And his opponent
11:51From Atlanta, Georgia
11:56Weigh in at 222 pounds
12:03He is the undisputed
12:07WWE Champion
12:12The American Nightmare
12:17Cody Rhodes
12:22Ladies and gentlemen
12:25I want to start my call
12:27This matchup tonight
12:28By saying
12:29I plan to be very unbiased
12:30In this match
12:31Everyone knows the relationship
12:32I've had with John Cena
12:33For 20 years
12:34Cody Rhodes for 20 years
12:35As well
12:36I was very vocal on the night
12:37That John Cena
12:38Did what he did to Cody
12:39But this match
12:40One of the biggest
12:40In the history of Wrestlemania
12:42Deserves straight down the line
12:44Commentary
12:45I plan to provide that
12:46For you tonight
12:47It is a massive main event
12:48In the city that makes champions
12:50Las Vegas, Nevada
12:51On the strip
12:52Rhodes, Cena
12:53In John Cena's
12:55Final Wrestlemania
12:56Will Cena set the record?
12:58Will Cody keep the title?
12:59It happens
13:00Right now
13:01We are underway
13:25Rhodes and Cena
13:26For the undisputed championship
13:29Wait if you're Cody Rhodes
13:30What do you need to do
13:32To keep the title?
13:33You simply need to beat yourself
13:35You historically have competed
13:37Against John Cena
13:38When you were always the underdog
13:40The roles tonight
13:41Have completely flipped
13:42Today
13:43Cody Rhodes
13:44Is the hot ornament
13:45Of WWE
13:46And John Cena
13:47Is a massive underdog
13:49Pat
14:07Can John Cena pull off
14:08What many think
14:09Is the unthinkable tonight?
14:11Absolutely
14:11He's big match
14:12John for a reason
14:13Any given night
14:16Could be a John Cena night
14:18No matter how long
14:19It's been since
14:20He's got a dub
14:21Because once you get in there
14:22You're going to feel
14:23The aura of John Cena
14:25You're going to feel
14:26The energy of a stadium
14:28With John Cena
14:29Inside of it
14:30Cody Rhodes
14:31Has had a lot of big moments
14:32Tonight
14:32His biggest
14:33Without a doubt
14:34So they're tackled by Cody
14:36And Cena regroups
14:37For John Cena
14:39He won his first world title
14:40All the way back
14:41At Wrestlemania 21
14:42When he defeated
14:43The now Hall of Famer
14:44JBL
14:45And it was that night
14:46I talked to JBL
14:47In a bar
14:48After that matchup
14:49And he looked at me
14:50And Michael
14:50He said
14:51This guy's name
14:52Is going to be
14:53Big match John
14:54He is going to be
14:55Massive and big events
14:56For the rest of his career
14:58And he has been
14:59Can John Cena do it
15:00One more time
15:01Tonight
15:12John Cena
15:14A little different
15:15John Cena
15:15Than what we've seen
15:16In the past
15:17You would think
15:18Cody would have
15:19A lot of film study
15:20Capabilities
15:20But we haven't met
15:22This John Cena
15:22In the ring once
15:24Seemingly
15:26Taunting the crowd
15:28Giving them nasty looks
15:29Telling them they're bums
15:30Like he's been doing
15:31For the last couple months
15:32Historically
15:33The high pitched voices
15:35Used to cheer for John Cena
15:36The deep voices
15:37Would boo him
15:38Now they seem to be
15:40In unison
15:40Screw John Cena
15:42John Cena
15:43In his ninth world title match
15:46At Wrestlemania
15:47For Cody Rhodes
15:48This marks his fourth straight
15:51Main event
15:52At the big show
15:53John Cena's not scared
15:55To use the ropes
15:55To take a break
15:56Not scared to step outside
15:58Get a timeout
15:59This is the new John Cena
16:00I was looking at
16:00Some statistics earlier
16:02It's interesting
16:02Cody's 0-4
16:04Against Cena in his career
16:05But Wade
16:05Those numbers can probably
16:07Be tossed out the window
16:08That was well over a decade ago
16:09Look at all
16:09It was like stardust
16:10Who else are we talking about
16:12Very young Cody Rhodes
16:13This is a different animal
16:15John Cena claimed
16:17That Cody was a scared little boy
16:19It's like he's missed
16:19The last eight years of growth
16:21Of Cody Rhodes
16:22Who has turned into
16:23Absolute leading light
16:24Of this industry
16:25Cody won the title last year
16:27When he finished the story
16:28At Wrestlemania
16:28He's the crown jewel champion
16:30After beating Gunther
16:31In Saudi Arabia
16:32And a nice
16:33Headlock takedown
16:34By Cena
16:36Cena needs to keep
16:37The pace of this match
16:38Slow
16:38Definitely
16:39Anytime the old guard
16:41Is taking on the young guard
16:42You want to keep that thing
16:43At a slow pace
16:45Scissors applied
16:46By Cody Rhodes
16:48John Cena's got a timeout
16:51Or two already
16:51Cody Rhodes
16:53Sends Cena outside again
16:54And John's got to regroup
16:55John Cena
16:56Has just been a step behind
16:58From the word go
16:59In this one
17:00Cody is swarming it
17:01Is that age and rust
17:02It's age
17:02It's ring rust
17:03Old father time is undefeated
17:05John Cena can cut a great promo
17:07And Cody with a suicide dive
17:08And Cena's taken out
17:09And Cody Rhodes is fired up tonight
17:11John Cena's taken a lot of personal shots
17:14At Cody over the last few months
17:16Cody Rhodes has sent a few back as well
17:18Said that
17:19John Cena can't wrestle
17:21And now Cody's
17:22Wrestling as best he's ever done
17:24A big right hand
17:25I think John Cena wants to prove to the world
17:28That he can wrestle tonight
17:29Hence yet another side headlock
17:31On Rhodes
17:31Who backs him into the corner
17:32His best offense so far
17:34Has been a big right hand
17:35The last thing a heavyweight will lose
17:37Is his punch
17:37We've seen very much
17:39In the way of wrestling
17:40From John Cena thus far
17:43And Cena now stomping away
17:44On Cody Rhodes
17:46And now the meanness
17:47Comes out of Cena
17:48Whatever has set him off
17:50Into this current state
17:51It eats Cena up inside
17:53As Cody is driven into the corner
17:55I mean despite his recent actions
17:58I still stand behind the claim
17:59That John Cena is the GOAT
18:01That he is the greatest of all time
18:03And he could prove that tonight
18:04Tonight's stat
18:05If he became the all-time leader
18:07In title ranks
18:08You'd have to say he's the GOAT
18:10As a matter of fact
18:12Deep down
18:13He cannot beat Cody Rhodes
18:15In a good clean fight
18:16He has to turn this
18:18Into a dogfight
18:19Absolutely
18:20Muddy it up a little bit
18:21Slow it down a little bit
18:23Old John Cena's a GOAT
18:25For a reason
18:25He knows how to win matches
18:27WrestleMania 20
18:29The first time we saw John Cena
18:30On the grand stage
18:32Now at WrestleMania 41
18:33It'll be the last time
18:35That we've seen John Cena
18:36At WrestleMania
18:37Stopped right to the leg
18:38And John Cena
18:40Trying to pull out
18:40Oh
18:41And stomped
18:41In a vicious knee
18:42To the side of the head
18:43I know Cody Rhodes
18:46Gonna be able to go
18:47Post to post with it
18:48But
18:48What if I beat Cody Rhodes
18:50Down a little bit
18:50Is the question Cena's asking
18:52Well Cena's also
18:53Been through it all
18:54He's seen it all
18:54He knows all the tricks
18:55In the book
18:56Then Cody
18:57And bust the ring
18:58With authority
18:59What an Irish whip
19:00By Cena
19:00Extra effort
19:01Irish whip
19:02Trying to break the back
19:03A little bit
19:03Of Cody Rhodes
19:05Still has that immense power
19:07That he's always had
19:08And I like what John's doing here
19:09Wade
19:09The pace
19:09Slow pace of the matchup
19:11Not trying to
19:12Get himself all tired
19:13And out of sorts
19:14Early on
19:15Endurance
19:15You're always gonna back
19:16The younger guy
19:17In that kind of situation
19:18Especially a guy like Cody
19:20Who's in the ring
19:21Each and every week
19:22Three or four days a week
19:24He's our champion
19:25He's in his prime
19:26Cena's gotta get him
19:28Out of that for a night
19:29Wade you know better than anyone
19:32You can work out in the gym
19:33As much as you want
19:34But it doesn't prepare you
19:35For what you have to do
19:35Inside the wrestling ring
19:36Oh you can do miles and miles
19:38On the treadmill
19:39Absolutely worthless
19:40When you get to game speed
19:41In the ring
19:43Try inhaling
19:43When you're getting kicked
19:44In the gut repeatedly
19:46By the likes of John Cena
19:47And Pat what we're seeing here
19:48Is this getting
19:49Cody's head a little bit
19:50John sort of dominating
19:51Playing with him a little bit
19:53Oh and a close line
19:53And it's not like
19:55What we've seen before
19:55From John
19:56Those are two just big kicks
19:58That have cleared out
19:59Cody Rhodes
20:00A big lariat there
20:01John Cena's got
20:03A new offense apparently
20:05And Cody's really
20:06And another close line
20:08By Cena
20:08Covered out
20:09For the championship
20:10Cody at one
20:11And look
20:11Something we haven't
20:12Really focused on
20:13Is the amount of pressure
20:14On the shoulders
20:14Of Cody Rhodes
20:16It's not just
20:16A championship match here
20:18He is trying to defend
20:20The future
20:21Of this industry
20:22The legacy
20:22Of that championship
20:24That has so much
20:25History behind it
20:26That John Cena
20:27Wants to take home
20:28For good
20:28And wait
20:28It's also the legacy
20:29Of Cody's family
20:30I did an interview
20:31With Cody Rhodes
20:32For the countdown show
20:33We talked a lot
20:34About the
20:34Tremendous rivalry
20:36That Cody's late father
20:38Dusty Rhodes
20:38Had with Ric Flair
20:39One of the greatest
20:40Rivalries in professional
20:41Wrestling history
20:42And I asked Cody
20:43If he felt something
20:44Like that he
20:44That he couldn't
20:45Let Ric Flair down
20:46And couldn't allow
20:47Cena
20:47To beat that title reign
20:49And Cody said
20:49He did feel
20:50Some of that pressure
20:51That he didn't want
20:52To let Flair down
20:52Who's been such a mentor
20:53In his career as well
20:55And that can be
20:55A crit tonight
20:56To Cody Rhodes
20:57He does have
20:57A certain hero complex
20:59At this point
21:00As the leading light
21:01Of this industry
21:02Which is at
21:02To the absolute peak
21:04And he feels solely
21:05Responsible for holding
21:06It together
21:07Dice slam by Cena
21:08Cover
21:08Championship up for grabs
21:10And Cody kicks out
21:11And what I'm seeing
21:12Out of Cena now
21:13Is the confidence
21:14It's not a cockiness
21:15Right now
21:16It's a confidence
21:17John feels like
21:18He's back in this thing
21:19He feels like
21:20He's at home
21:20That's because
21:21He's back at home
21:22Exactly Cole
21:23In between those ropes
21:24That's where John Cena
21:25Spent most of his life
21:26The opening five minutes
21:27Of this match
21:28John Cena looked like
21:29A dead man walking
21:30This is turned around
21:31In a big way
21:32It's the experience factor
21:34He knows exactly
21:35What he's doing
21:36Where he's doing
21:37John in tremendous shape
21:39As well
21:39As he takes a seat
21:41On the top rope
21:42And watches Cody
21:42Make it to his feet
21:43There's a big axe handle
21:44Right across the top
21:45Of the head
21:46Cody looks a bit
21:47Out of sorts here
21:48Certainly John Cena
21:49Knows what to do
21:49And when to do it
21:50We'll talk about
21:51The pressure on
21:52John Cena's shoulders
21:53The final ever
21:54WrestleMania
21:54If he loses
21:56This match
21:57What happens
21:58To the rest of this
21:59Retirement tour
22:00Do we just cancel it
22:01Does he go away for good
22:02He kind of has to win here
22:04I don't think that's the case
22:05I think if he wins
22:06In his last one
22:07Against Cody Rhodes
22:08Who hopefully has another 15
22:10And again
22:10He's gonna feel great
22:12About himself
22:12John Cena said
22:15The last time is now
22:16He might be walking out of here
22:18As the record breaking champ
22:20Wade so far
22:21This has been a pretty
22:22Perfect match
22:23For John Cena
22:24Yeah he rode out
22:25An early storm
22:26From Cody Rhodes
22:28And now he's dictating
22:29The pace
22:29And turning this
22:30Into the kind of fight
22:31That
22:31John Cena
22:33But just a little
22:34Too slow on those ropes
22:36Against the best
22:37On planet earth
22:38We went back to the well
22:40Too many times
22:40And our champion's
22:41Not gonna let that happen
22:42Cody trying to fight back
22:43With the big blows
22:44And then a shot
22:45Right to the eyes
22:46Official
22:46Senior official
22:47Chad Patton
22:48I don't believe
22:49Strong
22:49Such a veteran
22:51Cover
22:51Kick out
22:53John Cena
22:54Just tried to steal
22:55A little bit of a cover there
22:56Because I think
22:56The eye gouge
22:58Had Cody
22:59Completely out of sorts
23:03We see him on that pin
23:05Just pressing his weight
23:06Right on the chest
23:07Of Cody Rhodes
23:08Making Cody Rhodes
23:09Work hard
23:10Just to kick out
23:11And look at the smile
23:12And Cena's laughing
23:13At Rhodes
23:14It's a wear down factor
23:17Gradually grinding down
23:19The endurance
23:21The spirit
23:22The will
23:22Of Cody Rhodes
23:24John Cena's
23:31Ring IQ
23:32Is just second to none
23:33And we're witnessing
23:34That first hand
23:35That's why he's the goat
23:36Wade
23:37That's why I say that
23:38Cena
23:38Ripped across the ring
23:39By Rhodes
23:40Rhodes runs into
23:41A boot again
23:42John Cena
23:43Tornado DDT
23:45By Cena
23:45Cover
23:46Hooks the leg
23:47Almost had him
23:49Just turned up the speed
23:51Real quick
23:52John Cena lifts the boot
23:54Then a Tornado DDT
23:56John Cena has turned this
23:58Into a chess game
23:59Of pouncing
23:59With the big artillery
24:01At the right moment
24:02Close Sicilian right now
24:04John Cena's thinking
24:05Two three moves
24:06Ahead of Cody Rhodes
24:07And you don't think about
24:07This smile right
24:08And the laugh
24:09Cody made such a big deal
24:11About Cena can't wrestle
24:12So do the WWE fans
24:13I think Cena's proven
24:14A lot of people wrong
24:15Tonight
24:16And John Cena
24:17Shoulder tackle
24:18Uh oh
24:19We've seen this before
24:22Right
24:26I've never seen this
24:27Pause before
24:28Remix of sorts
24:30And every time
24:31There's a break
24:32In the action
24:33John Cena
24:33Just mouthing trash
24:35To Cody Rhodes
24:37To Cody Rhodes
24:37Another tackle
24:40By Cena
24:42You have to think
24:43Is Cody Rhodes mind
24:44Moving back in time
24:45At this point
24:46To his past
24:47As Stardust
24:48Or dashing Cody Rhodes
24:50When John Cena
24:51Would eat him alive
24:52That's a really good point
24:53Wade
24:53I never thought about that
24:55But the mental games
24:56That John can play
24:57With Cody
24:57Cody in some way
24:59Probably never thought
25:00He could ever match up
25:01To what John Cena
25:02Was all about
25:03And Cena may be proving
25:04That again tonight
25:05He's breaking the psyche
25:06Of the American nightmare
25:08And this has gone
25:09Horribly wrong
25:10For the champ
25:11Look at the slow motion
25:12Almost that John Cena's doing
25:14Just a matter of fact
25:15Through the moves
25:16I mean you sort of
25:17Got to applaud
25:18What Cena's been able
25:19To do tonight
25:19And we all know
25:21Where this is headed
25:22Shoulder tackle
25:23Shoulder
25:24Uh shoulder tackle
25:25Oh
25:30Cody
25:32Hook to the eye
25:33No five knuckle shuffle
25:35Rody up over the
25:36Oh there it is
25:37Power slam by Cody
25:38Little taste of your own medicine
25:39John Cena
25:40Something awakening
25:42Inside Cody Rhodes
25:43He's ready for a dog fight
25:45Off the second rope
25:46Disaster kick by Cody
25:47Here comes Rhodes
25:48And Cody's firing up
25:49John Cena was taking
25:53His sweet ass time
25:55Cody was gathering strength
25:57You understand the reaction
26:01From the
26:02WWE fans tonight
26:04Many of them
26:04One of the greatest hits
26:05From Cena
26:05Cody
26:06Cutter
26:06From Rhodes
26:08Cover
26:08To retain
26:09Hook to the leg
26:10John kicks it too
26:11The Cody
26:18Cutter
26:19Has ended
26:20Matches
26:21Before
26:21Couldn't end one
26:24Tonight
26:24But it was hit
26:25Perfectly
26:26On the grandest stage
26:27And now Cody
26:29As big of his
26:31His pop
26:32Late great American dream
26:33The southpaw unloading
26:36A little bionic elbow
26:37But John Cena
26:38Didn't allow him to have it
26:39Drop toehold
26:40And Cody Rhodes
26:43Creates space
26:44Cena again
26:45Looking for the
26:46AA to Cody
26:47Cena's gonna do it
26:48AA to Rhodes
26:49Cody kicked out at two
26:51That close
26:52An attitude
26:55Was adjusted
26:56But a record
26:57Wasn't broken
26:58Just when Cody
27:00Was trying to build
27:00Ahead of steam
27:01The AA connecting
27:03And the kick out
27:05From Cody
27:05Which
27:06Perhaps
27:07Not enough yet
27:08Taken out of the
27:09Chamber
27:09We are inching
27:10Closer
27:11To a championship
27:12Change here
27:14I'm beginning to
27:16Believe too
27:17Wade
27:17John Cena
27:19Has turned back
27:20The clock
27:20A decade
27:21The last
27:23Five knuckle
27:24Shuffle
27:24Of Wrestlemania
27:26Perhaps
27:26And he's got
27:29Cody up again
27:30Looking for another
27:31AA
27:31Cody able to
27:32Slip down underneath
27:33Roll through
27:33Shoulders down
27:34Can he get Cena
27:35And a kick
27:35Right to the face
27:36And Cody
27:38Flocks
27:38Get a right hand
27:39Like Cody
27:39Cody caught Cena
27:46With a right
27:46Rhodes now
27:49Up to the top
27:49Rope
27:50And a great move
27:51By Cena
27:51Wonderful move
27:52By the veteran
27:53Yeah I can't
27:54Knock him for that
27:54That was the right
27:55Move at the right
27:56Moment
27:56You don't like it
27:57It's not something
27:58Historically
27:59John Cena
28:00Want to turn to
28:00But these are
28:01Desperate times
28:02In the final year
28:04Of the career
28:05Of John Cena
28:05I think it showcases
28:06That Cena still
28:07Has that feel
28:08Do exactly
28:10What he needed
28:11To do
28:11Cena to the
28:16Second rope
28:16John Cena
28:19John Cena
28:19Hoping to put
28:21An exclamation point
28:22On the main event
28:23Of Wrestlemania
28:24Sunday
28:25Cody on his shoulders
28:28Cena with an AA
28:30Middle of the ring
28:31For the 17th
28:33World title
28:34Kick out
28:34By Cody
28:35A super AA
28:38Followed by
28:39Panic in the eyes
28:41Of John Cena
28:42How quickly
28:44The confidence
28:45Goes away
28:46With this
28:46Avalanche AA
28:47From the second
28:48Rope by Cena
28:49He thought he had him
28:51We thought he had him
28:52Cody stayed alive
28:54And this is the moment
28:55The master plan
28:56Starts cracking
28:57In the mind
28:58Of John Cena
28:59Who has dictated
29:0090% of the matchup
29:02Hit his nuclear weapon
29:05And it simply
29:06Didn't work
29:07He's underestimated
29:08The result
29:10Of Cody Rhodes
29:11John Cena's rolling
29:12Through the Rolodex
29:13Of moves
29:14Throughout the past
29:1521 years
29:16Of Wrestlemania
29:17What is it gonna take
29:18To put Cody Rhodes away
29:20Cena from the top rope
29:21Cody Rhodes
29:23Caught him
29:23Stacks him up
29:25Kick out by Cena
29:27Well that's just
29:28Answered a question
29:29For me
29:29How deep
29:30Can John Cena
29:31Dig
29:32When he's on
29:34Defense
29:34When he's taking
29:35Heat
29:35When he's getting
29:36Beaten around the ring
29:37And that was a
29:38Massive
29:38Massive impact
29:39High on the neck
29:41Of shoulders
29:41Of John Cena
29:43And he had an answer
29:44But how much longer
29:45Well that's the problem
29:47The longer this match goes
29:48The better
29:49The better off it is
29:51For Cody Rhodes
29:52Top rope for Cody
29:53Cody caught it
29:55From up top
29:55He caught Cena
29:56To retain
29:57Hook of the leg
29:58John kicks out again
29:59Both of them
30:02Have hit their best shot
30:04On each other
30:05Well there was a
30:07Huge question mark
30:08About whether
30:09John Cena
30:10Can reach his
30:10Historical best
30:12On the offense
30:13Yes
30:13But taking a beat
30:15In two
30:15And he's still
30:16Kicking out
30:17After some of
30:18Cody Rhodes'
30:19Greatest hits
30:19And again guys
30:21John Cena
30:22Has nothing to lose here
30:23This is his last
30:24Wrestlemania
30:25John Cena
30:26Is playing with
30:27House Money in Vegas
30:28Cody Rhodes
30:29There's all the
30:30Pressure on his
30:31Shoulders tonight
30:31John Cena's
30:34Been in Hollywood
30:34Oh looking for
30:35Crossroads
30:35John Cena
30:36Turns it around
30:36Cena with Cody
30:37Up again
30:38Looking for another
30:39A.A.
30:39A third one tonight
30:41And now he's
30:41Going to turn it around
30:42John Cena
30:43Turn it back
30:44The clock
30:44The STFU
30:46From John Cena
30:48Cody Rhodes
30:49Scrambling for his
30:50Dear life
30:51Scrambling to keep
30:52A hold
30:53Of the championship
30:54The hold
30:55The hold that
30:55Gave Cena
30:56Championships
30:57Cody Rhodes
30:58Trying to drag
30:59Himself to the
31:00Bottom rope
31:01Rhodes championship
31:02Rain could be
31:03Fading
31:03Cena

31:06Trying to put
31:06Him away
31:07Bites his arm

31:15Out of that
31:15Cody
31:16Cody Rhodes
31:17Can he somehow
31:18Survive
31:19Cody could be
31:20Fading
31:20This could be it
31:21For Rhodes
31:22Over one year
31:23Rain as champion
31:24The Goats
31:26Trying to tap
31:26Him out
31:27Or knock
31:28Him out
31:28Or pass
31:29Him out
31:29In the middle
31:29Of the ring
31:30Cody
31:30Trying to
31:31Dig down
31:32Deep
31:32All the grit
31:33The determination
31:34Everything he
31:35Worked for
31:36To finish the
31:36Story last year
31:37Is on the line
31:38Here tonight

31:43Rope

39:01Or
39:01Not
39:01John
39:02Cena
39:03Is
39:04The
39:04GOAT
39:04there is no longer a debate with a 17th world title john cena is the greatest of all time
39:15you will call it what you want cole that was a bunch of bullcrap i agree with john cena is the
39:21biggest piece of garbage i have ever witnessed in this industry wait i agree with you screw you
39:28but rick slayer didn't win 16 world titles being a nice guy he was the dirtiest player in the game
39:36john cena did the same thing tonight and he set the record at wrestlemania travis scott came out to
39:45assist check west and chase p are here he used the title off of cody's head and here we are
39:55celebrating the greatest of all time when it was all said and done it is going to be an
40:03interesting pat mcafee show tomorrow morning when john cena appears at 12 15 eastern
40:09to talk about what was an incredible main event up to the point when travis scott arrived
40:16travis scott saved john cena then he went to smack cody in again
40:23and found himself on the wrong end of the crossroads at wrestlemania
40:30but but this was the moment of truth remember john cena cena said a little bit ago that cody you're
40:41gonna have to make a choice at some point do you want to be the good guy or do you want to be the
40:45bad guy cody decided he wanted to be a good guy and it cost him the championship because john cena
40:53had no issue tonight being that badass sob and because of what he did john cena now stands at
41:02the pinnacle of professional wrestling with a 17th world championship at his final wrestlemania
41:11john cena may well have the goal but he is not the leader of this industry not after this disgraceful
41:19performance 20 years of hustle loyalty and respect spat back in the face of anyone who stood shoulder to
41:29with john cena hey wade you know my feelings
41:36i love john for many many years and i still respect him but tonight john cena has done it john cena has become
41:47the ghost great small time alongside travis scott might be an unbeatable duo
41:55don't forget folks the post show is coming up joe testator and company with plenty to break down
42:01tonight i want to thank everyone the over 124 000 that showed up at allegiance stadium over the past
