John Cena's WWE career is nearing its conclusion and the current world champion is giving his best not to disappoint the fans. The first part of his retirement tour lived up to expectations, indeed the veteran from Boston gave WWE Universe two truly epic moments when he made the first heel turn of his entire career and when he won the world title for the 17th time definitively detaching another legend like Ric Flair in the all-time rankings.
After beating Randy Orton at Backlash and CM Punk at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, the leader of the 'Cenation' is preparing to make his return to SmackDown next week and resume his feud with Cody Rhodes (from whom he stole the world title at WrestleMania 41).
'The American Nightmare' secured his chance to challenge Cena again thanks to his triumph in the 'King of the Ring' tournament, in which he defeated Jey Uso in the semifinals and 'The Viper' Randy Orton in the finals a couple of weeks ago.
New details on Cena's last opponent
As John's farewell tour is over half, fans are starting to wonder who his last opponent will be. The final match of the leader of the 'Cenation' will take place in mid-December as he himself revealed and the WWE management is called to choose a prestigious rival for such an occasion.
First of all, there is huge curiosity to understand if Cena will remain world champion even after SummerSlam, the most important PLE of the summer, in which analysts are convinced that Cody will prevail by taking revenge.
Until a few months ago, insiders suggested that Bron Breakker would be John's last opponent before his retirement, but Triple H and the management may have changed their minds in recent times.
According to reports from 'WRKD Wrestling' in these hours, the choice of the WWE management would have fallen on Gunther.
'The Ring General' – who was already Goldberg's last opponent in his retirement match tonight – would also be destined to end John Cena's career in a few months.
