John Cena isnt backing downand now hes got the WWE Universe in his crosshairs. After turning his back on fans and Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber 2025, the 16-time World Champion is doubling down with a cryptic warning ahead of SmackDown in Bologna, Italy.
On X/Twitter, Cena fired off a message that had fans doing double takes. Be accountable and aware of the environment you create, he posted, just hours before his next WWE appearance. No context, no follow-upjust a pointed reminder that his heel persona isnt going anywhere.
Cenas descent into full-on villainy began on March 1 in Toronto, when he blindsided Cody Rhodes and aligned himself with The Rock and rapper Travis Scott in a brutal three-on-one assault. The move shocked the crowd, and things escalated even further on this weeks episode of RAW in Brussels.
During the show, Cena justified his actions by putting the blame squarely on the WWE Universe. You used me for 20 years, he told fans. You didnt support meyou manipulated me, controlled me, made me your puppet. The arena erupted in boos, with dueling Cena sucks and Lets go Cena chants echoing throughout the night. Cody Rhodes tried to reason with him, but Cena stormed off in silence as fans sang na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.
Now, all eyes are on Bologna to see what Cena does nextand whether his cryptic tweet was a warning to Cody Rhodes, the WWE roster, or the entire fanbase.
