John Cena will step inside the WWE ring for the final time this year. WWE COO Triple H confirmed that Cena’s last in-ring appearance will take place on December 13 at Saturday Night Main Event in Washington, D.C. The announcement was made on X, drawing a huge response from fans worldwide.
The 17-time world champion had already announced his retirement during Money in the Bank 2024. He admitted that his body could no longer handle the physical demands of wrestling. Cena’s farewell match is expected to be emotional, though his opponent has not been revealed yet.
Triple H described the event as more than just a match. He said it would be a full celebration of Cena’s remarkable legacy in WWE. “John’s contributions to WWE are immeasurable,” Triple H said. “Together with our partners at Events DC and Capital One Arena, we look forward to delivering an unforgettable send-off.”
Fans are eager to see how WWE will honor one of its greatest stars. According to reports, Cena could also appear at the Survivor Series later this year. Before his final night, he is expected to compete at Crown Jewel Perth against AJ Styles, following strong fan demand.
John Cena has been absent from public view since his defeat to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. That loss fueled speculation about his retirement, but WWE has now confirmed that his farewell is official. With only five dates left in his WWE career, every appearance will carry special significance.
The upcoming main event promises to mark the end of an era. For fans who grew up with Cena’s “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect” motto, December 13 will be a night to remember.
