WWE legend and 17-time World Champion John Cena is set to have the final match of his professional wrestling career on Saturday, December 13, at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. This match will take place during Saturday Night's Main Event against the winner of the ongoing "The Last Time Is Now" Tournament, which features former WWE World Heavyweight Champion "The Ring General" GUNTHER and former United States Champion "The Mega Star" LA Knight.
Despite this being billed as his last match, it appears Cena will return for another appearance, as WWE is promoting him for the post-WrestleMania 42 episode of Monday Night RAW. Details about Cena’s role in the show are not yet available, but updates will be provided as they arise. Recently, Cena was in action at the Survivor Series: WarGames premium live event, where he defended the Intercontinental Title against Dominik Mysterio from The Judgment Day. However, Liv Morgan made a surprising return, helping "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio reclaim the title.
The post-WrestleMania 42 episode of RAW is scheduled for Monday, April 21, 2026, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will air live on Netflix starting at 8:00 PM ET.
