John Cena not only made his surprise return at WWE Money in the Bank 2024 earlier this year in Toronto, Canada, but he also shocked the WWE Universe by announcing that he will officially retire from the WWE in 2025.
When did John Cena start wrestling?
With an in-ring career spanning over two decades, Cena signed a developmental contract with the WWE (then-WWF) in 2001 after ending a bodybuilding career to begin his pro wrestling training in the late 90’s at Ultimate Pro Wrestling’s (UPW) Ultimate University. He would go on to help usher in WWE’s Ruthless Aggression era in 2002, which would see him become the top babyface and public face of the company for the next decade.
Will John Cena beat the record?
Cena is a record 16-time world champion, as recognized by WWE alongside ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair, but will we see him take the reigns of that record during his 2025 farewell tour?
Fans also speculate that we could see The Leader of the Cenation finally win the elusive WWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his decorated career. One thing is certain: WWE fans have learned never to say never, and John Cena will be there to remind them Never to Give Up.
What can we expect during the John Cena Farewell tour?
During his Money in the Bank promo, John mentioned that the 2025 Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania would be his last. He also mentioned during an interview with Collider while promoting Season 2 of Peacemaker that he will dedicate 2025 to the WWE and commit to around 36 appearances throughout the year.
While the WWE hasn’t listed any official dates for John’s retirement tour, pro wrestling fans worldwide know that ‘The Last Time is Now,’ and in 2025, in the words of John Cena, “After This, You Can’t See Me.”
