John Cena successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Championship in the highly anticipated main event of WWE Backlash 2025, defeating longtime rival Randy Orton in what may have been their final showdown. The electrifying match took place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, and delivered everything fans hoped for — intensity, drama, and an unexpected twist.
R-Truth Interferes, Helps Cena Retain the Title
As the match neared its climax, R-Truth played a surprising role in turning the tide. Just as Randy Orton was about to deliver his devastating Punt Kick, R-Truth interfered, only to be met with a sudden RKO. However, the distraction allowed John Cena to land a low blow followed by a brutal strike using his championship belt, securing the win and retaining his title.
John Cena Reacts on Social Media Following Backlash 2025
Just hours after his controversial victory, John Cena broke his social media silence by posting on Instagram — but in true Cena fashion, the post was cryptic and caption-free. The image shared was the 20th anniversary cover art of his and cousin Tha Trademarc’s iconic studio album, You Can’t See Me, originally released on May 10, 2005.
What caught fans’ attention was a peculiar detail: the custom WWE Title in the image was topped with an ice cream bar. This seemingly random element has sparked massive speculation in the WWE Universe.
👀Is Cena Teasing a Feud with CM Punk?
Fans were quick to speculate that the post could be a tease for a potential feud between John Cena and CM Punk. The two Superstars were part of an epic rivalry back in 2011, centered around the WWE Championship spinner belt — the same version featured on Cena’s album cover.
What adds fuel to the theory is CM Punk’s well-documented love for ice cream, especially his past campaign for the return of WWE ice cream bars. The ice cream detail in Cena’s post may not be accidental — it might just be a subtle nod to the Second City Savior.
What’s Next for John Cena in WWE?
After overcoming one of his greatest rivals in Randy Orton, the WWE Universe is buzzing with questions: Who will challenge John Cena next for the Undisputed WWE Championship? Is CM Punk really being set up as his next opponent? Or is Cena simply celebrating a career milestone?
One thing is certain — Cena’s cryptic Instagram post has the wrestling world talking.
