Rhodes also must beat Cena to regain the title later in 2025. The American Nightmare needs the validation that comes from beating Cena. While Reigns bridged the gap between Cena and Rhodes, it is the latter of the two that represented the last great babyface hero in WWE.

WrestleMania 41 notably set the stage for John Cena’s record-breaking 17th world championship win in WWE. That wasn’t the only impressive number that it produced, though. Per a press release, WWE WrestleMania 41 also emerged as the most-successful and highest-grossing event in company history.
