Top WWE star hopes for showdown with John Cena during retirement tour

At the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank event in Toronto, Canada, John Cena announced his impending retirement from professional wrestling. Although his farewell tour doesn’t begin until next year, a top WWE star has made it clear that he wants a piece of the 16-time world champion.

In his announcement, John Cena revealed that he will be involved in the broadcast of RAW on Netflix. He also shared that his final wrestling appearances will include the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 2025. Instead of a single farewell match, Cena will embark on a 100-date farewell tour in 2025. His in-ring career is scheduled to end in December 2025.

While speaking with the Buffalo Bills, Seth Rollins was asked to share his expectations for John Cena’s upcoming farewell tour. Seth Rollins stated that 2025 will be special for Cena. Rollins expects Cena, who is known for his over-the-top personality and grand gestures, to make his final year in WWE unforgettable. Rollins is excited to see what Cena will do and hopes to have one more match with him before Cena retires.

“Knowing John as well as I think I do, next year — it sounds like it’s 2025 — is going to be a really special year for John Cena. He’s not the guy to do things in small ways. He’s not the guy to hold back. If you’ve seen anything John’s ever done in WWE, or if you’ve watched any of his movies, for example, you know John is larger than life and has a big personality, and I imagine he wants to make his last year his best year. I’m excited to see what John brings to the table next year. It’s going to be a great time, and I hope I get to step in the ring with him at least one more time before he retires.”

We also reported that WWE is already considering opponents for John Cena and he is also looking to compete in the UK next year. It remains to be seen what Cena’s farewell tour will look like, as fans would love to see another fight between John Cena and Seth Rollins.
