  • Cena's victory came through controversial means, including interference from rapper Travis Scott and a low blow, marking a full embrace of his heel persona.
  • Randy Orton emerged as Cena's first challenger, ambushing him with a surprise RKO on the Raw after WrestleMania and holding the championship belt aloft.
  • Cena's post-match press conference reinforced his villainous character, dismissing reporters' questions as 'clickbait' and refusing to address The Rock's absence from WrestleMania.
