Cena's Glasgow promo cements his heel turn, as he aims for a record-breaking 17th title and vows to 'ruin wrestling' by taking the belt home permanently.

John Cena delivered a fiery promo in Glasgow on March 24, 2025, reiterating his plan to win the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41 and retire with it.
Cena's heel turn, which began at the 2025 Elimination Chamber with his alignment with The Rock and attack on Cody Rhodes, continues to reshape his legacy.
Cody Rhodes, the reigning champion, has vowed to defend his title, setting up a highly anticipated clash at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas on April 19-20, 2025.
Cena has drawn sharp criticism from fans, accusing them of selfishness and hypocrisy, and likened his storyline to CM Punk's infamous 2011 arc.
The storyline has sparked intense debate about Cena's legacy, as he pursues a record-breaking 17th championship while threatening to upend WWE's traditions.
