WWE legend John Cena is preparing for his final appearance in the ring. The event is scheduled for December 13, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, confirmed the news on social media.
The 16-time world champion had already announced his retirement during Money in the Bank 2024. Cena explained that his body could no longer handle the physical demands of professional wrestling. His farewell match is expected to be an emotional moment for fans around the world.
Although the opponent for the bout has not been confirmed yet, WWE has promised a historic send-off. Triple H stated that every detail of the event is being planned carefully to honor Cena’s remarkable career. “John’s contributions to WWE are immeasurable,” Triple H said, highlighting the superstar’s impact on the company and the wrestling industry.
Cena has not been seen in the ring since his loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. However, he is scheduled to face AJ Styles in a special match at Crown Jewel Perth. The contest is being arranged due to massive fan demand. Reports also suggest Cena could appear at this year’s Survivor Series.
WWE confirmed that Cena only has five appearances left before stepping away from in-ring competition. These events will serve as milestones, celebrating more than two decades of his career built on the values of “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect.”
The announcement has created global buzz, with wrestling fans preparing to witness the end of an era. The John Cena final match will not only mark the closing chapter of his time in WWE but also honor his lasting influence on the sport.
