The Elimination Chamber match had top WWE superstars like John Cena, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, Logan Paul, and CM Punk. While there were some surprises during the match, the result ended as expected. John Cena won and will go on to fight for his 17th title at WrestleMania 41’s main event.
The biggest surprise of the Elimination Chamber match was Drew McIntyre’s elimination. Last time, he was thrown out awkwardly in the Royal Rumble without making any impact, and this time, the same thing happened. He was the first one eliminated by Damian Priest. After that, Damian Priest, Logan Paul, and Seth Rollins eliminated themselves one by one.
Only CM Punk and John Cena remained in the ring at the end. They had a tough fight, but neither was ready to lose. Seth Rollins was waiting outside the ring and did something that helped Punk lose the match. Rollins didn’t want Punk to win, so he stomped on him. John Cena then took the chance to pin Punk and win the Elimination Chamber.
🚨 CENA WINS

With this victory, Cena now prepares to challenge Cody Rhodes for his 17th WWE title at WrestleMania 41. He kept his promise to make it to WrestleMania, but the real shock came when he turned heel for the first time in his career.
John Cena’s heel turn shocked the entire world
As the night seemed to be ending, Rhodes turned down an offer from The Rock for power and riches. In response, Cena attacked Rhodes, helping The Rock and Scott take down the 39-year-old in front of a shocked crowd.
This heel turn was a huge surprise because Cena and Rhodes used to be great friends. Even though they were fighting for the championship, it was expected to be a friendly match at WrestleMania.
I’m in fucking shock. John Cena heel turn after all these years. Oh my God.

Nobody expected Cena to turn on Rhodes, especially after Cena helped Cody win the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 40 by saving him from the Bloodline’s attack. Trust it or not, the expression on Cena’s face just before his heel turn was something the WWE universe had never seen before.
