John Cena BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

John Cena has been the center of monumental WWE news this past week, with Netflix confirming that Monday November 17 at Madison Square Garden will be his final ever appearance on WWE Raw as an active wrestler. Netflix ran major headlines across social media, teasing “One Last Raw. One Last Time in the World’s Most Famous Arena,” stirring emotions for fans worldwide. Cena began his Raw journey two decades ago and now, after a storied retirement tour, he’s closing that chapter in the media spotlight. In a personal statement posted on X, Cena reaffirmed that despite all rumors and speculation, his final WWE match will be December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington DC, stating “I am far from perfect but strive to be a person whose word has value. 12/13/25 will be my final match. I am beyond grateful for every moment WWE has given me. I am excited for 12/13 and look forward to seeing all of you one last time.” This post was reshared and quoted extensively on wrestling news sites and by major sports journalists.

Fans and insiders alike have been buzzing around possible final opponents, as WWE has been dropping a series of cryptic teaser videos on official channels. The vignettes—various shots of shoes including black dress shoes, orthopedic shoes, and casual footwear—have sent the rumor mill into overdrive. Cena himself poured gasoline on the speculation by posting a cryptic image on Instagram showing his own black dress shoes, almost identical to the teaser footage seen on WWE social media. WrestlingHeadlines and Times of India amplified the fan theories, debating if Cena was hinting towards his storyline or retirement program, with nearly everyone convinced that Gunther—the “Ring General”—is being set up for Cena’s last-ever bout. A final rumored penultimate match with Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship is making rounds, significant since it’s the one major title Cena never held.

Beyond the ring drama, Cena made a meaningful visit to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando just days ago, meeting and mentoring NXT’s rising stars. He wrote on X that he was “truly grateful,” for the opportunity to “learn from our incredibly gifted future,” reflecting both humility and legacy-building as he transitions out of active competition. NXT prospects Blake Monroe and Izzi Dame posted their own images with Cena, adding more fuel to the social media fire.

Business-wise, Cena’s farewell appearances are some of the biggest ticket draws of the year, and the Netflix partnership for his last Raw has made mainstream headlines, establishing a new benchmark for pro wrestling streaming in the process. Altogether, this past week for John Cena is all about legacy, mystery, and the kind of public emotion that only a true icon’s retirement can spark.
