Cena won the men’s Elimination Chamber match as CM Punk passed out from his submission maneuver. Rhodes came down the entrance way  to congratulate Cena, and the two began to chat – in what appeared to be a friendly conversation. The Rock interrupted the festivities and joined the two WrestleMania 41 opponents in the ring.

The Rock asked Rhodes whether he would become "his champion" and "sell his soul" to him. Rhodes turned to the "Final Boss" and told him to go "f--- yourself." Cena appeared to be excited by what was happening as was the crowd in Toronto. He embraced Rhodes but took a long stare at The Rock, who gave him the signal to give Rhodes a beatdown.
