That set the stage for what was supposed to be a historic match. John Cena, in his final WrestleMania, aiming to break Ric Flair's World Championship record with a 17th reign if he could defeat Cody Rhodes.

John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41, capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship and breaking the record for most WWE titles in history. The bell rang in Sunday's main event and the two competitors soaked in the energy for the main event.

Cena first attacked Rhodes at the end of the Elimination Chamber in March, teaming up with his longtime rival Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson” and then turning heel for the first time in 22 years. (Johnson, who joined the board of WWE owner TKO Group this year, last returned to the ring at WrestleMania 40.)
