WWE legend and 17-time World Champion John Cena is set to compete in his final professional wrestling match at Saturday Night's Main Event later tonight in Washington, D.C., against two-time former World Heavyweight Champion "The Ring General" GUNTHER.
Although Cena's in-ring career is coming to an end, he will remain with WWE for the next five years in a different role. In a conversation with Tom Rinaldi on WWE’s YouTube channel, Cena announced that he has signed a new contract to serve as the company’s ambassador.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Cena’s new deal with WWE will last until the end of 2030. Meltzer also mentioned that Cena has consistently expressed his desire to contribute to the company, even after retiring from in-ring competition. It will be interesting to see how WWE utilizes his services moving forward.
