The year 2025 will be unforgettable for wrestling fans, especially with WrestleMania 41 around the corner. But for John Cena’s fans, it’s even more special as Cena prepares for his farewell tour.
Many hope he’ll break Ric Flair’s title record with one last championship win during this tour. However, Hall of Famer Bully Ray has a different perspective.
On “Busted Open Radio,” Bully Ray shared that while Cena is a great wrestler, his legacy is mainly tied to the WWE Championship reigns. Flair, on the other hand, held titles across various promotions, making his record more impressive.
Ray said, “To me, John Cena is a WWE Champion, full stop, that’s it. You can’t beat Ric Flair’s record. Ric Flair was a WWF Champion, he was an NWA Champion, a WCW Champion. Ric Flair has held different championships around the world which to me, holds more water than John Cena’s only WWE Championships.”
He continued, “To me, John Cena is already the most decorated World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history, and John Cena has the record within the WWE. I don’t look at it that way, Flair is in a spot all his own.”
While Cena is widely regarded as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time, Ray believes Flair’s own achievements in different wrestling promotions set him apart.
John Cena teases a match with Stone Cold
John Cena has been active on Instagram, posting cryptic messages in his usual style. On Friday, he sparked rumors with a post referencing “The Rattlesnake”—a potential hint at a match with Stone Cold Steve Austin. The post suggests Cena might be aiming to catch Austin’s record for the most Royal Rumble victories.
Only Cena knows the true meaning behind the post. With his WrestleMania 41 opponent still a mystery, fans can expect more teasers in his future posts. Until an official announcement, the speculation will persist.
