John Cena posts photo of Charlotte Flair following heated argument with Tiffany Stratton

After the heated SmackDown exchange between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton, John Cena just ignited the flames without uttering a single word. The 16-time World Champion posted a mysterious picture of Charlotte Flair on Instagram with no message, which has everyone buzzing.

John Cena's message seems to have been timed in direct response to Charlotte's statement that he intended to beat the title record held by Ric Flair.  Fans made the connection right away. The message was made mere hours after Flair and Stratton's off-script promotional exchange during the April 4 SmackDown broadcast, in which the two ladies exchanged intimate photos that went far beyond the plot.

 Following Cena's suggestion that fans will forget about her father when he wins his 17th world title at WrestleMania, Charlotte recently reacted. In her scathing comments, Charlotte stated that she wants to surpass the title record regardless of Cena's efforts. Following their on-screen conflict on the March 31 RAW episode, when the title record dispute took centre stage, they received this social media recognition. 

John Cena to fight for 17th WWE Title

In keeping with Cena's custom of posting without a message on Instagram, the picture has been generally seen as an acknowledgement of Charlotte's fearless commitment to upholding her family's heritage.  As WrestleMania draws near, interest in the ongoing drama around the title record grows as Charlotte positions herself as both a champion for her father's heritage and a competitor seeking to make her own WWE championship history. John Cena is going to face Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship.

Regardless of how the battle turns out, John Cena's attempt to win a record-breaking 17th WWE World Championship. Since John Cena joined The Rock's side and attacked Cody Rhodes, WrestleMania 41 is sure to be a historic event.  WrestleMania 41 prepares to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas; the WWE's largest PLE extravaganza is quickly approaching.
