John Cena will say goodbye to professional wrestling at the end of 2025, ending one of the most legendary careers in the history of this business. The 16-time world champion was the iconic face of WWE for about two decades, before starting a great career in Hollywood that led him to become a highly regarded and popular actor.
Despite his busy schedule, the champion from Boston has never forgotten his origins and has returned to the ring whenever he could in recent years. At this point in his life, the leader of the 'Cenation' has understood that it is appropriate to leave room for young talents but intends to end his career on his own terms.
The former world champion participated in the first episode of Monday Night Raw on Netflix on January 6 and received a beautiful reception from the crowd in Los Angeles, recording a very interesting promo in which he announced his presence at the Royal Rumble match on February 1st.
New details on John Cena
Cena's goal is to be able to compete for the world title again, so as to try to break the record he shares with another legend like Ric Flair.
According to reports from 'Wrestling Observer', John's idea would be to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. 'The American Nightmare' became world champion after defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL and became the new iconic face of the company.
However, it cannot be ruled out that The Rock could enter this feud in case he decides to participate in the 'Showcase of the Immortals' in mid-April.
"I'd like to face him sooner or later" - Rhodes had said some time ago. "I think we could have a memorable match for fans around the world, but he told me he couldn't promise me," Cody added. The 2025 edition of WrestleMania could be the ideal setting for an unforgettable clash.
