There is no doubt that Cena has been one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling, and his departure will be a big loss for the wrestling world.
Last year, during the Money in the Bank event in Canada, John Cena made a surprise appearance where he announced that 2025 will be the year of his retirement and he will also have a retirement tour. He started his retirement tour from the first episode of RAW of 2025, which was also the Netflix RAW premiere.

There had been much confusion about which event would host his final match when it was already reported that he would wrestle for the last time in December. A report from Sports Business Journal suggests that the date of the final match of Cena will be December 13, 2025, and the stage will be Saturday Night's Main Event.
This show does not feature on Netflix, but it features on Peacock. So the final match of Cena's career will not be featured on Netflix if the reports are true. According to rumours, Brock Lesnar will be the final opponent of John Cena's career, but nothing has been confirmed yet. A large number of fans believe the opportunity to end John Cena's career should be given to a new star.
