John Cena made WWE history at WrestleMania by capturing his 17th world championship, becoming the most decorated WWE wrestler of all time. In a stunning main event that shocked fans worldwide, Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to surpass Ric Flair’s long-held record of 16 world title reigns. The dramatic finish, which featured unexpected interference from rapper Travis Scott, added a pop-culture twist to an already iconic moment.
A Legendary Night on the Grandest Stage
This WrestleMania wasn’t just any event—it marked Cena’s final appearance at WWE’s biggest show, with his retirement set for the end of 2025. For a superstar whose legacy spans over two decades, winning the world title one last time felt like a fitting send-off. Fans erupted as Cena celebrated in the ring, cementing his place as the face of WWE history.
While WrestleMania is known for surprises, none carried more weight than Cena’s win. Despite being considered an underdog going into the match, his veteran instincts and sheer willpower led him to victory once again.

This historic event also marked the first WrestleMania to stream live on Netflix. The global platform brought WWE to millions of new viewers, thanks to a massive 10-year, $5 billion deal. According to Netflix, its debut WWE show in January drew nearly five million views, and WrestleMania followed suit with a smooth live broadcast, free from technical issues.
