The stage is set for an unforgettable clash between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. As wrestling insiders and fans eagerly anticipate the event, Eric Bischoff, co-host of the popular podcast “83 Weeks,” shares his thoughts on the highly-anticipated match.
The Key to a Compelling Storyline
In his opinion, the key to a compelling storyline is not just about the personal issues between the two competitors, but rather what happens next. Bischoff states, “I think that’s lacking. That super compelling, like you’re scratching the days off the calendar kind of thing, it’s not there for most people. But what happens next is actually more compelling.”

Cena’s Potential Reign of Terror
If John Cena were to emerge victorious, he would be putting a significant dent in his legacy by surpassing Ric Flair’s record of 16 World Championships. However, Bischoff believes that this win would not be the key to his success. “The personal issue part is kind of ‘eh,'” he says. “On a scale of one to ten, the personal issue, in other words, do I really feel like these guys really, really do feel the way they’re being presented they feel about each other, can I believe it? Eh, not quite yet…But what’s interesting, for me at least…I gotta see what happens when these two step in the ring because I think that’s lacking.”
| Cena’s Current Reign | Flair’s Record | Impact of a Potential Win |
|---|---|---|
| Cena’s reign is already a significant one, with 16 World Championships under his belt. | Flair holds the record with 16 World Championships. | A win by Cena would be a significant achievement, but Bischoff believes it’s not the key to his success. |
The Importance of the In-Ring Performance
For Bischoff, the in-ring performance is what truly matters. “I gotta see what happens when these two step in the ring because I think that’s lacking.” He believes that the outcome of the match will be more compelling than the personal issues between the two competitors.
What’s Next for Rhodes
If Cody Rhodes were to lose to Cena, it could be a significant setback for his career. However, Bischoff believes that Rhodes has already demonstrated his ability to overcome adversity. “He’s already shown that he can overcome a lot of obstacles,” he says. “I think he’s got the heart of a warrior.”

In the end, the outcome of the match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes will be determined by what happens next. Bischoff’s words serve as a reminder that the key to a compelling storyline is not just about the personal issues between the competitors, but rather what unfolds in the days and weeks that follow.
As the WWE Universe waits with bated breath for the outcome of WrestleMania 41, one thing is certain: the match between Cena and Rhodes will be a defining moment in the careers of both competitors.
With the possibility of Cena surpassing Ric Flair’s record of 16 World Championships, the stakes are high.
