Both The Rock and Cena are heavily involved in the WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 PLE and WrestleMania 41.
Cena is wrestling inside the men's Elimination Chamber match with a shot at Cody Rhodes and the WWE Undisputed Championship on the line. Cena last appeared for WWE at the Royal Rumble and was the last star eliminated from the match.
As for The Rock, he wedged his way into WrestleMania 41 plans last week on Smackdown. The Rock appeared and announced that WrestleMania 42 would be heading to New Orleans, but then called out Rhodes. The Rock told Rhodes that he wanted him as his champion and wanted his soul. The Rock is expecting an answer from Cody on tonight's Elimination Chamber PLE.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 will emanate from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Matches include both the men's and women's Elimination Chamber matches, Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens in an Unsanctioned Match, and a tag team match between Tiffany Stratton & Trish Stratus and Nia Jax and Candice LeRae.
