WrestleMania 41 featured the final match of John Cena’s illustrious wrestling career. In the main event of Night 2, Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to become the Undisputed WWE Champion, marking his record-breaking 17th title win. He later lost the title back to Rhodes at WWE SummerSlam. Cena’s last match was against “The Ring General,” GUNTHER, at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, where he lost via submission.

Although Cena’s heel run around WrestleMania 41 is widely considered a failure, he delivers a remarkable performance as the villain, ACME Chief Legal Officer Buddy Crane, in the new hit movie Coyote vs. Acme, which is currently in theaters. The film was nearly shelved by Warner Bros. but was later acquired by Ketchup Entertainment and released in theaters. It has now grossed over $54 million at the domestic box office and over $80 million globally.
