At Elimination Chamber, The Rock was on hand to get an answer from then-WWE champion Cody Rhodes regarding whether he would agree to sell his soul to The Final Boss. When Rhodes refused, Cena and rapper Travis Scott attacked Cody at The Rock's behest, ending Cena's run of over 20 years as a beloved babyface.

The seeds have been planted, and both stars have a history. However, both men are currently focused elsewhere, and as Cena nears retirement, WWE might have bigger plans. Punk is a huge name and could be chosen as Cena’s final opponent.
