WWE icon John Cena has revealed how many appearances he will make for the promotion next year as he embarks on his retirement tour. Speaking to Collider, Cena said that working on his Peacemaker series will keep him busy for the rest of 2024, but he is fully committed to WWE in 2025.
“It’s going to be about 36 dates around the world to express my thanks and appreciation to the WWE audience around the world. So that’s what I’m doing in 2025.”
Cena confirmed at the WWE Money in the Bank 2024 PLE that he will retire from in-ring competition next year and no amount of money will dissuade him. This is not the first time John has spoken about his farewell tour being an international affair, as he hopes to compete in the United Kingdom at least one more time before retiring.
John Cena’s farewell tour
With Cena being one of the biggest names in wrestling history, it’s no surprise that several wrestlers have signed up for Cena’s farewell tour. CM Punk hopes to work with John before he retires, while The Miz is hoping for one final bout with Cena after headlining WrestleMania 27 in 2011.
New WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker is set to defend his title against Cena next year. The title is one of the few honors John has yet to receive in WWE, and the only title Cena needs to complete the Grand Slam. Talent outside of WWE is also interested: Matt Cardona wants a fight, while WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam is hoping for a One Night Stand 2006 rematch with Big Match John.
