John Cena opened the show by addressing his actions at WWE Elimination Chamber, where he betrayed Cody Rhodes moments after securing a WrestleMania 41 title shot.

Cena voiced resentment toward fans, claiming they never truly supported him. As the crowd booed, Cena declared he no longer needed the fans, calling them toxic and ungrateful.

In response to Cena’s statements, Rhodes said that despite the betrayal, he once admired him. 

Rhodes warned Cena to find his old self before WrestleMania — because he intended to retire him.

Cena and Rhodes threw their microphones down and left the ring with no physicality, with Cena following Rhodes shortly after he disappeared to the back.
