Everyone is wondering how long John Cena's reign as world champion will continue. The WWE farewell tour of the leader of the 'Cenation' has arrived about halfway through and has already given fans several surprises, considering that the veteran from Boston made the first heel turn of his long career when no one thought it possible.
John - who had started the 2025 season with a shocking disappointment at the Royal Rumble in early February - has shown that he can still compete at the highest level at WrestleMania 41, having dethroned 'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes at the end of a match in which he was considered a clear underdog.
Thanks to that triumph, he became world champion for the 17th time and definitively overtook Ric Flair in the all-time ranking. Cena has already defended the title several times in the last two months and is preparing to face CM Punk at Night of Champions, the huge event that will take place in Saudi Arabia tomorrow.
The leader of the 'Cenation' will challenge one of the most dangerous rivals ever, full of motivation and desire to prove that he is still one of the best in the world. The 'Second City Saint' had been waiting for this chance for a long time and had repeatedly expressed the desire to compete with John in the last year of his career, which is why the best version of Cena will be needed to prevail again this time.
Update on WWE's plans
According to reports from 'WrestleVotes' in these hours, the plans of Triple H and the WWE management would be to have Cena win at Night of Champions. In particular, the Stamford federation would like the current world champion to keep his belt until SummerSlam - the most prestigious PLE of the summer - where the showdown with Cody Rhodes would be scheduled.
SummerSlam will take place on August 2nd and 3rd and promises to be a memorable event, where 'The American Nightmare' will try to take revenge after his disappointing performance at Mania 41. We will see if this rumor will turn into reality.
