Has John Cena changed his plans to retire from WWE in 2025?
John Cena's retirement tour will officially kick off next year and it will mark his final year in the world of pro wrestling. However, WWE's recent announcement about hosting a future WrestleMania in London, UK, drops an inkling about his retirement plans. The Cenation Leader had advocated bringing The Show of Shows to England's capital for quite some time, which finally came to fruition.
With a future WrestleMania locked in London, there have been speculations about whether the 16-time world champion will amend his farewell plans to compete at The Showcase of The Immortals. However, Cena has not changed his retirement plans. He will bid adieu to his pro wrestling career by the end of next year, as initially announced.
In the wake of WWE's recent announcement, he expressed his gratitude to the fans in the UK for the wonderful news. However, the veteran superstar elucidated that he would be done with in-ring competition by the time it happened. Regardless, John Cena sparked a beacon of hope, stating that he will be there in London as a fan whenever it happens.
While it is quite a poignant realization that The Franchise Player will not compete in a future event in the nation after 2025, he is all set to give the WWE Universe bountiful memories next year, as it will be his final ride.
WrestleMania 41 will be John Cena's last 'Mania
John Cena is one of the most venerated names in the world of pro wrestling, having carried WWE on his shoulders for decades. The 47-year-old legend competed in several editions of WrestleMania in his glorious career and left innumerable memories that will be cherished forever.
However, WrestleMania 41 will be the last edition of The Showcase of The Immortals in which The Cenation Leader will compete. He spoke about it during his appearance at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event this year, shedding light on his WWE farewell tour that will kick off next year.
It will be an emotional night for wrestling fans around the world as John Cena will grace the show with his presence one final time. While a lot of names have been on the list for his WrestleMania 41 opponent, the one superstar that fans have been demanding the most is Randy Orton.
With both superstars having a rich history between them, Orton and Cena sharing the stage for one last time in a monumental showdown at The Grandest Stage of Them All will indeed add grandeur to the show. It remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for The Cenation Leader.
