As everyone knows, John Cena finished WrestleMania 41 as the new world champion breaking yet another record in his legendary career. The leader of the 'Cenation' put in a truly incredible performance against Cody Rhodes and prevailed on Sunday night, also taking advantage of the interference of Travis Scott who played an important role during the contest.
Those who expected The Rock to appear in Las Vegas for the biggest event of the year were very disappointed, but Johnson's schedule is really busy and many analysts had anticipated that 'The Great One' could skip the 'Showcase of the Immortals' this year.
The entire WWE Universe is wondering what the direct consequences of this shocking win of Cena, who became world champion for the 17th time in his career, will be. The legend from Boston appeared on Raw yesterday and provoked the crowd once again, accusing fans of often being hypocrites and changing their minds too quickly.
John reiterated his intention to leave professional wrestling taking the world title with him, a prospect that certainly scares Triple H and the WWE management. The world champion will also be present at Backlash - scheduled for May 10th - and may have already found his next opponent.

'The Viper' – who was unable to end his feud with Kevin Owens at Mania 41 due to the latter's serious neck injury – faced Joe Hendry at the 'Showcase of the Immortals' prevailing at the end of a spectacular contest.
The former world champion had said several times that he would have liked to face Cena before his retirement and the management seems to want to fulfill his wish. This clash between two legends who have made wrestling history could be the main event of the next PLE.
