John Cena BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

John Cena is making global headlines as his historic retirement from WWE approaches, with the brand officially announcing that Cena’s final match will headline Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. This marks the end of a legendary, record-setting run—Cena is the only wrestler to hold 17 recognized world titles in WWE history, a crowning achievement celebrated not just by fans but also by WWE executives, with Triple H stating publicly there are “no words that can truly relay how much he means to this business,” according to the official WWE press release and Sports Illustrated. In the lead-up to this momentous farewell, the company has fashioned his remaining appearances as marquee events. He is next slated to face AJ Styles at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia within days, followed by a final in-ring appearance in Boston on November 10 at Monday Night Raw, then an emotional Madison Square Garden show, and a spot at Survivor Series in San Diego, rounding out the “Last Time Is Now” tour’s closing chapter.

Business activity off the mat remains robust. Cena continues his diversified portfolio—recent coverage by viral YouTube business channels spotlights his ventures in film, television, and numerous endorsement deals, with brands like Honda and Gillette. On social media, Cena isn’t shy about expressing gratitude for the fans, posting sentimental images from iconic matches while the hashtag #TheLastTimeIsNow trends on both Instagram and Twitter, generating millions of impressions daily. Wrestling blogs and entertainment sites like IMDb and FandomWire keep up an hourly drumbeat tracking every remaining match, with recent storylines and rivalries dissected in real time. Cena’s heel turn earlier this year—where he aligned with The Rock and Travis Scott—sent shockwaves across the wrestling community, but in the past two months, he completed a redemptive arc, culminating in a face turn after his SummerSlam loss to Cody Rhodes. That match against Rhodes, hailed by Dave Meltzer as Cena’s second career five-star contest, and his subsequent bouts with Brock Lesnar, Logan Paul, and Sami Zayn are regarded as career-defining epilogues.

Mainstream press continues to debate the legacy Cena leaves behind, and major outlets like Sports Illustrated, WWE.com, and TKO Group have confirmed details of his farewell, including commemorative events, podcasts, and merchandise “Final Match” exclusives. Rumors swirl about a post-retirement acting push, but no official announcements have surfaced—speculation remains just that. Throughout, Cena’s stature as a pop-culture icon and his impact on both the business and craft of wrestling are openly acknowledged. Every remaining appearance is historic, every headline signals the end of an era, and for John Cena, the curtain is about to fall on a profoundly consequential chapter in entertainment history.
