John Cena (Image via WWE) John Cena 's final chapter in WWE is officially moving forward, and fans are getting more emotional with every update. After years of unforgettable matches and historic moments, the 17-time world champion is slowly saying goodbye. Now, after his big win at Backlash 2025, the location for his final match has been confirmed. And it is a special place for him. The exciting news came right after Cena defended his title against longtime rival Randy Orton in a dramatic main event. The match had chaos, surprises, and a twist no one saw coming. But the biggest news of the night came from outside the ring. A news report has now confirmed that the final match of John Cena will happen in Boston, Massachusetts, this December. John Cena wins at Backlash and then charges on R-Truth Backlash 2025 ended with one of the most discussed matches in recent months. John Cena faced Randy Orton , a superstar he has fought many times in the past. This match felt like a throwback to their prime. Both men hit their finishing moves, and the crowd was fully behind them. During the match, R-Truth suddenly ran in and stopped Orton from attacking Cena. Orton quickly hit Truth with an RKO, but the distraction gave Cena just enough time to take control and win the match. It was a shocking end, but what happened after was even more surprising. Later, during the official WWE Backlash press conference, R-Truth showed up again to offer his support. But Cena did not accept it kindly. He slammed Truth through a table, making it clear he did not want help from anyone. This moment could lead to a possible match between them in the future. John Cena's last Match will be in Boston this December The biggest news came from a local news station in Boston after the Backlash. They shared where Cena will wrestle for the final time in WWE. This moment will be the end of his legendary career. 'John Cena's last match is scheduled for December at the TD Garden in Boston.' This was announced by reporter Shayna Seymour on WCVB. Although the exact day was not given, another report from Cory Hays at PW Nexus said that WWE has a show at TD Garden on December 13. That is likely when Cena will wrestle one last time. This is a special choice because Cena was born and raised in Massachusetts, and it's where his WWE story began. John Cena is now on his retirement tour with 24 dates left. Most of them are appearances, not matches. Still, every step is bringing fans closer to the end. With his last match set for Boston, fans are ready to give him the send-off he truly deserves.

Asuka set for WWE return after year-long injury break, Fans await surprise comeback
Image via WWE WWE superstar Asuka is reportedly on the verge of making her long-awaited return to the ring, nearly a year after suffering a serious knee injury. The decorated performer, known as the 'Empress of Tomorrow,' last appeared on WWE television in May 2024 at Backlash: France, where she and tag team partner Kairi Sane lost the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships to Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. It was later revealed that Asuka had been wrestling through a knee issue leading into the match, an injury that eventually required surgery and extensive rehabilitation. As a result, she missed several high-profile events over the past year, including WrestleMania 41. WWE officials have kept her status under wraps, but multiple sources now indicate her return could happen as early as May 2025. WWE keeping comeback plans under wraps Reports from PWNexus have suggested that Asuka's return could take place following the Backlash premium live event on May 10. WWE is believed to be taking a cautious approach with her recovery, avoiding any official statements to preserve the surprise element that often accompanies her reappearances. Interestingly, Asuka's name appeared in a teaser clip from Netflix's upcoming behind-the-scenes series WWE Unreal, where an early draft of the WrestleMania 41 match card showed her listed for the show. Although she wasn't ultimately cleared to perform, the mention suggests the company had been preparing for a potential comeback months in advance. WWE: Unreal | Official Teaser | Netflix Fightful Select reported earlier this year that creative plans, including a tag team match were discussed for her return but weren't implemented due to timing. It's unclear if WWE still intends to go that route or pivot to a solo storyline. Asuka is still listed on WWE's Raw roster and remains affiliated with the Damage CTRL faction. However, the group itself has struggled with injury setbacks, including Kairi Sane and Dakota Kai, casting doubt on whether the faction will remain intact upon Asuka's return. During her absence, Asuka also spoke out on fan safety concerns, saying WWE and parent company TKO were taking measures to ensure her well-being at live events. The comment sparked discussions around wrestler safety, and drew support from fans across the globe. With May already here and Backlash approaching, all eyes are on WWE's programming as speculation grows. Will Asuka make a surprise return? The WWE Universe is watching, and waiting.
