Cody Rhodes' mother is weighing in on the betrayal of John Cena from WWE Elimination Chamber 2025.
"Mama Rhodes" was a common target for The Rock leading up to WrestleMania XL. Now, she's taking aim at John Cena in the lead-up to his match with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
Michelle Runnels was recently interviewed by Bill Apter of Sportskeeda WrestleBinge about John Cena turning heel on her son, Cody Rhodes, at WWE Elimination Chamber. She says that she was shocked and never would have expected the moment, but she didn't go as far as to call Cena a family friend. Rather, she called him a friend of Cody's. She also called him an asshole.
"I was just shocked. Completely shocked. I would have never, never thought that was going to happen," she said. "I mean, he was a friend of Cody's, and, of course, Dusty knew him, but I wouldn't call him a family friend."
Asked if she had a message for Cena, Michelle responded, "I would say, 'John, you should be ashamed of yourself. You had a beautiful career. Everybody loved you and and now you're just an asshole.'"
She also went on to say that she's very proud of Cody for standing up to The Rock.
