In a fresh discussion with Collider, famed wrestler John Cena disclosed his plans to dedicate the full span of 2025 to his WWE retirement tour.
His much-awaited comeback happened unexpectedly during the 2024 WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view event. It was then that he made the unexpected announcement of his impending departure from professional wrestling in the year 2025.
Cena declared definitively: “I can probably confirm that Peacemaker will take us to the end of 2024, and I can say that with the utmost conviction because I have given the calendar year 2025 to WWE. I am retiring in 2025, and I start that farewell tour in January. I’ll end it in December, and it’s going to be right around 36 dates around the world to pay thanks and gratitude to the WWE audiences around the world. So that’s what I’m doing in 2025.”
He added, “Well, it’s also very rewarding, and I’m grateful. The audience has been there for me for close to 25 years now, so I just want to say, ‘Thank you.’”
Amid confirming that his last shows will be among Royal Rumble 2025, Elimination Chamber 2025, and WrestleMania 41, it’s crucial to mention that Cena does not plan for his final wrestling match to be at WrestleMania 41. He envisions his wrestling career extending past that pivotal event.
