John Cena Breaks Record with 17th WWE Title at WrestleMania 41

WrestleMania 41, held on April 19–20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, concluded with John Cena capturing his 17th WWE World Championship, surpassing Ric Flair’s record in a historic victory over Cody Rhodes.

With a surprise appearance from rapper Travis Scott, John Cena’s victory solidified his status as WWE’s most decorated wrestler, despite his planned retirement by late 2025. This event was the first to be streamed live on Netflix as part of a $5 billion deal, including standout matches, alongside WWE’s acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.

In the Night 2 main event, Cena defeated Rhodes in a 28-minute thriller, with Travis Scott’s interference delivering a chair shot, sealing the victory, per Cageside Seats. The 61,467-strong crowd erupted as Cena, a 16-time champion tied with Flair, claimed his 17th title, a milestone ESPN called “a defining moment in wrestling history.” While Cena has announced retirement plans, wrestling’s history of comebacks leaves room for speculation, as noted by Sporting News. X posts like “Cena’s the GOAT!” reflected fan excitement, though sentiment remains inconclusive.

WrestleMania 41 marked WWE’s first major event on Netflix, streamed to 300 million subscribers under a 10-year, $5 billion deal. Following a five-million-view kickoff in 2025, Variety said the platform's debut was technically smooth. However, heavy advertising branded ring gear, canvas logos, and promotional costumes drew criticism, with some fans on X dubbing it “Ad-a-Mania,” per Wrestling Inc. Despite this, the in-ring action, watched by a global audience, overshadowed the complaints, reinforcing WWE’s streaming pivot.

Other Key WrestleMania 41 Moments

  • World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso dethroned Gunther on Night 1, winning via submission in 16:23, marking his first world title.
  • Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio captured his maiden title, defeating Damian Priest, which was a breakout moment.
  • Women’s Tag Team Titles: Becky Lynch, returning after a year, teamed with Lyra Valkyria to win the titles, which was an emotional highlight.
  • Women’s Championship Matches: Tiffany Stratton retained against Charlotte Flair in a gritty 19:10 bout. At the same time, Iyo Sky defended her title in a triple threat against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, hailed as an “instant classic."

WWE announced its acquisition of Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide during the weekend, a move to expand its global reach, as reported by Forbes. The deal, aligning with WWE’s Netflix era, aims to integrate Mexican wrestling talent, enhancing its roster. The event’s success, with 61,467 attendees and celebrity appearances like Lil Yachty, underscored WWE’s growing cultural footprint, per The Wrap.
