John Cena finally earned a chance to become a 17-time World Champion, winning the WWE Elimination Chamber match tonight. Cena managed to take advantage of the hatred between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, when Rollins hit a stomp on Punk after Punk eliminated him. Cena then locked in the STF and made Punk pass out for the win. Cena will now face Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Of course, that would be burying the lede. Because after the match, The Rock came out for his answer, wanting Rhodes to be his champion. Rhodes refused, telling Rock to “go f*ck yourself.” After that, John Cena shocked the world and turned heel, hitting Rhodes with a low blow. He then hit him with brass knuckles, and the WWE title, busting him open. Rock and Cena left Rhodes laying to end the show.

Here’s the elimination order.

1. Drew McIntyre eliminated by Damian Priest
2. Damian Priest eliminated by Logan Paul
3. Logan Paul eliminated by CM Punk
4. Seth Rollins eliminated by CM Punk
5. CM Punk by John Cena
