WWE veteran claims John Cena can “beat the c*ap” out of Cody Rhodes—but there’s a catch!

With WrestleMania 41 not far away, all eyes remain on the highly anticipated face-off between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. After the last confrontation between the two on the March 31 episode of Monday Night Raw in London, all eyes eagerly await the headlining bout between the reigning undisputed champion, Rhodes, and 16-time World champion Cena. Even though Rhodes delivered a Cross Rhodes on Cena following their heated verbal exchange of words and showcased his dominance as the reigning champion. Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell believes that the tables might turn in WrestleMania 41 if only brute strength is involved.

Dutch Mantell puts John Cena over Cody Rhodes in physicality

The American Nightmare’s bold yet unexpected move against Cena on the last episode of RAW certainly stirred up drama. By nailing Cena with a Cross Rhodes and leaving him “lying” behind, fans have gone crazy as the stakes are higher than ever with this newly ignited rivalry after Cena’s shocking Heel turn. While this rivalry is yet to be properly settled inside the squared circle, wrestling veteran Mantell’s comments have led the fans to speculate further as WrestleMania 41 is at hand.


Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the veteran stated that no more physical jabs are required between the two megastars after what went down on Raw recently. Further in the conversation, Mantell also shed some light upon WWE’s creative team looking up an impressive angle to portray this rivalry rather than just it being a battle of strengths since Mantell believes that Cena can outrun Rhodes when it comes to that; he stated, "Now it's just going to be talk time. There's no need to do it anymore because they [Rhodes & Cena got physical on RAW in London]. If they [WWE] do a physical angle, I think it'll be Cena doing something to Cody and beating the living c*ap out of him or something.”





As the clock has started ticking backwards for WrestleMania 41, anything that we are already expecting might have been thought of already, and what is going to unfold in the upcoming days remains a surprise. Over the past few years, WWE’s creative team has indeed leveled up their game when it comes to taking the fans around the globe by surprise; stay tuned for the latest updates.
