NXT talents are gearing up to battle main roster stars.
After a year-long retirement tour, John Cena’s farewell tour will arrive at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 as the 17-time World Champion prepares for his final match. The December 13 edition of SNME is set to emanate live from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
As announced by Cena, the show will also give a platform to NXT talents to showcase their skills on the big stage against main-roster talents.
John Cena will step into the ring for the final time at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, facing one of the toughest opponents of his career.
Gunther, a former World Heavyweight Champion, earned the honor and pressure of retiring Cena after winning The Last Time is Now Tournament, a grueling 16-man bracket featuring stars from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and surprise challengers tied to Cena’s past.
Furthermore, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is set to face NXT Champion Oba Femi, while Bayley will go one-on-one with NXT’s rising star and high-flying former double champion Sol Ruca.
Additionally, World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee will step into a high-octane showdown against two of the fastest-rising talents in NXT, Je’Von Evans and current TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater.
