John Cena BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

John Cena has been dominating headlines this past week with the ongoing spectacle of his WWE retirement tour and a whole series of dramatic developments as he heads toward his final in-ring appearances. The biggest news: WWE announced a slate of new dates for Cena’s farewell, including heavily-hyped shows in Chicago on September 5 for SmackDown—his last dance in that raucous city—and back in his home state for Monday Night Raw in Lowell, Massachusetts, on September 15 according to WWE’s Friday press release. These join 14 remaining events capping off with a retirement match in December, the culmination of what WWE has officially branded as “The Last Time Is Now” tour. Tickets for all these shows open to the public July 25, with presale access a few days earlier.

SummerSlam looms extra large on the horizon, now supercharged as WWE’s first-ever two-day SummerSlam, set for August 2 and 3 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The SummerSlam main event will pit Cena, still the Undisputed WWE Champion, against Cody Rhodes in a street fight. This match was not a straightforward booking. On Friday’s SmackDown, Cena tried to bow out of the event, citing exhaustion and commitments to a major Netflix film, and instead suggested a rematch at a later show. Cody Rhodes, visibly furious, forced Cena back into the ring after a bruising altercation, made him sign the contract, and unveiled the street fight stipulation. This confrontational segment has been the talk of wrestling social media, with highlight videos and memes flooding X and Instagram. Wrestling sites such as SEScoops and WrestleTalk confirm the chaos of the segment and the locked-in street fight for SummerSlam.

Off the mat, Cena’s business profile keeps growing: Fanatics Casino has just announced a multi-year partnership with WWE to introduce a batch of WWE-themed online casino games, launching in August to coincide with SummerSlam. Expect to see WWE Blackjack and titles like Raw Multiplier Melee alongside special promotions, reinforcing Cena’s dual role as a ring legend and a pop culture brand magnet.

Financially, John Cena remains a juggernaut. As reported by Khel Now, his net worth in 2025 is estimated at a cool 80 million dollars, topped up by an annual WWE haul of 12 million—an astonishing sum for a part-timer—and lucrative endorsement deals with heavyweight brands. Social buzz is nonstop, from Reddit watch parties to Threads updates, but Cena’s main focus is clear: go out on his own terms, headline major markets, and deliver an epic swan song for the ages.
