John Cena's Farewell WWE Match To Take Place On December 13
John Cena is all set to wrestle his final match for WWE at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, 2025. NBC Sports confirmed the date of the 17-time world champion's farewell match along with a hint at the venue. While nothing official has been confirmed, all signs point towards Boston - which is quite clear his home town of West Newbury. There has been a lot of speculation over his possible opponent as well but the wrestler and WWE has not revealed anything yet. 'Peacock has had a wonderful relationship with the WWE and we're excited to see it continue far into the future,' said Rick Cordella, President of NBC Sports. ' 'Saturday Night's Main Event is some of the most premium content the WWE produces, including John Cena's upcoming retirement match, and it will be all live and exclusive on Peacock.' Cena announced at the start of 2025 that this will be his final year with WWE and since then, he has already faced stalwarts like Randy Orton, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. The next match for the superstar will be against Logan Paul at WWE Clash In Paris on August 31. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar John Cena opened up about his much-discussed 'heel turn' and how it did not go according to plan. Cena believes that his promos did not work initially with the fans and that led to the disconnect. The 17-time champion turned heel after attacking Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber to leave the fans completely stunned. It was something that the fans have discussed for a long time but the execution over the next few weeks left them disappointed. Cena told an audience member at Fan Expo Chicago 2025 what he believed went wrong.

WWE Hall Of Famer Picks John Cena's Last Opponent: "Don't Want To..."
WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley believes that Bron Breakker should face John Cena in his farewell match. Cena announced at the start of 2025 that this will be his final year with WWE and since then, he has faced stalwarts like Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Cena will next take on Logan Paul at WWE Clash In Paris. Dudley said that he is not in favour of someone like Seth Rollins or Cody Rhodes face Cena in his final match. Instead, he wants to see someone like Breakker in the match as such a stage will elevate his star power and provide a solid boost to his career. 'Bron Breakker. I don't want to see Seth Rollins in there with John. I don't want to see Randy Orton in there with John. I don't want to see Cody,' Bubba Ray Dudley said on "Busted Open Radio" Podcast. 'I don't want to see any of that stuff. I want to see somebody that can benefit from this match … I'm sorry, I want to see somebody that can benefit from this moment. Because the entire thing is going to be about a moment. The match is going to be insignificant. The moment is going to be when the bell rings and you are standing across the ring from John Cena in his last match in Boston. That's the moment. You're also going to be the guy in the ring with John Cena when the finish happens,' he added. Cena opened up about his much-discussed 'heel turn' and how it did not go according to plan. Cena believes that his promos did not work initially with the fans and that led to the disconnect. The 17-time champion turned heel after attacking Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber to leave the fans completely stunned.

John Cena Gives Stunning Verdict On WWE Heel Turn: "Bombed..."
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar John Cena opened up about his much-discussed 'heel turn' and how it did not go according to plan. Cena believes that his promos did not work initially with the fans and that led to the disconnect. The 17-time champion turned heel after attacking Cody Rhodes at WWE Elimination Chamber to leave the fans completely stunned. It was something that the fans have discussed for a long time but the execution over the next few weeks left them disappointed. Cena told an audience member at Fan Expo Chicago 2025 what he believed went wrong. "I wasn't upset. No, I failed," he said. "Ain't nothing wrong with that. You can learn from failure, right? I went up there and bombed. Shit happens." Cena was open to criticism and even said that he took the failure as teaching moments in his WWE career. The superstar announced that this will be his last year with the company and he has faced a number of stalwarts in the course of his retirement tour till now. "I've changed a lot over the years. I'm not the same person I was yesterday," he says. Earlier, Cena kept the fans guessing about his opponent in the final match of his wrestling career. Cena revealed at the start of 2025 that this will be his last year in professional wrestling and he is all set to have his final fight in December last this year. However, there is still no clarity about who he will be facing. He has already faced stalwarts like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Randy Orton while his next match will be against Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31. During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he was once again asked about his potential opponent but the legendary WWE star once again left everyone guessing. "No, no, I've never operated like that," Cena said. "It's weird because I've always just been that guy. ... I've just always kind of been reliable and showing up and doing whatever I'm asked. And I really want this tour to be not only special - it'll always be special to me because you guys are out there - I want it to be special for the business. My goal has always been to leave WWE better than I found it, so whoever they deem appropriate to get that energy, man, I'm cool with that."
