It’s a popular saying that history repeats itself. And surely many of us believe in it. But to see the replica of the past unfolding in the present is quite thrilling in itself. Similar to what’s currently happening in WWE. The main event of WrestleMania 39 seems to share a co-incidental replication with that of WrestleMania 28’s main event. Here, Cody Rhodes is in John Cena’s place, while the rest remains the same.
The WWE Universe is right now shaken from its core after what happened in The Grandest Stage of Them All. As if that wasn’t enough, the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania shocked fans more. Rhodes requested a rematch after getting defeated by Roman Reigns a day before. Sadly, his request wasn’t approved by The Wiseman, but a tag team match was finalized after much discussion. And to accompany Rhodes, Brock Lesnar came into the picture. However, things turned worse soon as The Beast betrayed his teammate while slamming him ruthlessly. Surprisingly, the visual of this horrific turn of events transported everyone to 2012.

And if you also recall, you will find co-incidental similarities. Here’s an Instagram post to describe the same, where at every stage Cena and Rhodes seem to go through the same scenario.

Be it the massive defeat of both the stars in The Show of the Shows or what happened just the next day, everything looks similar. Just like Rhodes’ encounter with Lesnar on Raw after Mania, Cena experienced the same.

The Cenation Leader’s feud with The Rock ended at WrestleMania 28, but after then he got into a new rivalry with The Conqueror. What happened next might be an indication of the future of The Prince of Pro Wrestling in WWE.
What might happen to The American Nightmare’s storyline in WWE?
In 2012, when The Face of the WWE suffered a main event loss and then several recurring losses, fans might have thought that their star’s career is over. However, the promotion’s plan for its star was a little different. It turned out that the string of losses worked as a bug push for Cena’s character in the long run.

And going by that, one can guess how the 2023 Royal Rumble winner’s fate can turn around in the future. There might be a chance for him to receive a great push from the company, just like Cena did. And as the 16-time World Champion ultimately won the title, Rhodes might will as well.
Now, with this hypothesis in mind, it will be more interesting to encounter the future happenings of WWE.
