John Cena Will Entertain “Illusions” of Post-2025 Dream Matches, But Won’t End WWE Retirement
John Cena is hanging up the jorts. During a surprise appearance at WWE Money in the Bank last month, Big Match John announced to the Toronto crowd that 2025 would mark his final year as an in-ring competitor, and he will be embarking on a year-long “farewell tour” to cap off his career. Cena has emphasized that when December 2025 rolls around, he is done as a wrestler but will continue to represent WWE as a proud ambassador, just trading the jean shorts and wristbands in for his signature three-piece suit. With this permanence known, wrestlers from across the industry have begun to campaign to match up with the 16-time world champion next year, including WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker and TNA star Joe Hendry.
