John Cena made wrestling history at WrestleMania, becoming a 17-time world champion, breaking the record of the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair after he defeated Cody Rhodes in the main event.

This is the first time that Cena has held a title in WWE since 2017.

Cena worked a very slow match and was cheered by a large portion of the crowd at Allegiant Stadium. The ending saw the interference of Travis Scott, who came strolling down the ramp with his version of the WWE title, saved Cena after he pulled the ref from a three-count and also ate a Cross Rhodes in the process.

Cena eventually won the title after he hit Cody with the WWE championship and celebrated in the ring with Scott.

This ends Cody’s remarkable 378-day as WWE champion which started a year ago in the main event of WrestleMania XL.

Ric Flair, who held the joint-record with Cena up until tonight, took to social media to congratulate him.

“Congrats to my great friend John Cena on becoming a 17x champion,” Flair wrote. “It was only a matter of time! You and Cody Rhodes put on an instant classic! Much respect! Wooooo!”
