John Cena has sold his soul to The Rock!

You read that correctly. It was not Cody Rhodes who took The Final Boss up on his offer, it was the man who has spent the last two decades preaching hustle, loyalty and respect.

When The Rock asked Cody Rhodes Saturday night to come embrace him and become his champion, Cody said he could not give his soul to The Final Boss because he gave it to the ring and the people a long time ago.

Rhodes then made a major statement by telling The Rock to go f--- himself.

Still in the ring to witness Cody's response first hand, John Cena gave Rhodes a but huge with a huge smile on his face. Seemingly thrilled that the American Nightmare had stuck to his principles. Then suddenly the emotion drained from his face and The Rock gave him the kill signal.

The 16-Time World Champion then stunned the Rogers Centre by giving Cody a low blow. The start to a brutal beatdown that saw Cena bloody the Champion with the very watch that Cody gave The Final Boss at WrestleMania XL last year.

John Cena punched his ticket to WrestleMania 41 moments before his shocking actions, when he outlasted CM Punk and Seth Rollins to win his fourth career Elimination Chamber Match.

The American Nightmare and the now soulless Cena shared a brief moment of respect in the ring together before The Final Boss made his grand entrance for the night's closing segment. Rapper and singer songwriter Travis Scott accompanied The Rock to the ring.

Scott even helped hold Rhodes down so The Rock could whip the WWE Champion with his custom weight belt.
