John Cena has beaten Randy Orton for the last time at Backlash 2025. But that’s not the biggest news this weekend. The real shock? Cena’s final match is now confirmed and it’s happening in Boston this December.
Yes, the 16-time world champion is finally saying goodbye to WWE. The date being talked about is December 13, and the event will be Saturday Night’s Main Event. After years of ups, downs, boos, cheers, and championships, John Cena’s career is heading to its last stop in his hometown.
Who Will Retire John Cena?
Now that Cena’s end is near, the big question is: who will face him in his final match?
There are many big names in WWE who could get this honour like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, or even Randy Orton again. But if WWE wants to make the moment feel big and help build the future at the same time, there’s one clear choice Bron Breakker.
Why Bron Breakker Is the Right Choice
Bron Breakker is strong, fast, and fearless. He’s not just a second-generation star he’s a future world champion. WWE is clearly behind him. He’s teamed up with Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman, two of the biggest names in wrestling today. That alone shows WWE has big plans for him.
And if Breakker is the one who ends Cena’s career? That would launch him into the main event forever. Beating a legend like Cena in his final match is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. It’s more than just a win it’s the kind of thing fans remember for decades.
What’s Next for Cena Before the End?
Before December comes, John Cena still has a few stories left to tell. WWE might pair him up with R-Truth for a fun run, and then throw him into short feuds with CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, or maybe even Dominik Mysterio.
But to really go out strong, Cena needs to turn babyface again. Fans love him when he’s the hero. All it would take is one emotional promo, one speech from the heart, and the crowd would be on his side again, cheering for him like it’s 2008.
Then he can go full throttle. No more half-time appearances. No more comedy skits. Just the serious, hardworking John Cena we all know the one who gave his best night after night.
Matches That Should Happen Before the Final One
Here’s a list of dream matches Cena could have before he retires:
- Cena vs CM Punk – One last showdown between two legends.
- Cena vs Cody Rhodes – A battle of old school vs new era.
- Cena vs Dominik Mysterio – A passing of the torch moment.
- Cena vs Carmelo Hayes or Chad Gable – Giving the new generation a shot.
Each of these matches would not only entertain fans but also help prepare WWE’s next stars for the future.
