WrestleMania 41 will be the last WrestleMania for John Cena’s wrestling career
Cena has earlier taken a break from full-time wrestling to focus on his acting career in Hollywood. He only appeared in the promotion in a part-time role since then.
A promotional video for the ticket sales of WrestleMania 41, released by WWE recently has seemingly confirmed the last WrestleMania match for the former 16-time WWE World Champion.

Among the names is also Cena’s fierce rival in the promotion Randy Orton who has expressed his desire to face the former champion before his retirement.
As per the WWE, the tickets for WrestleMania 41 are available from October 25, at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. While the fans who have registered for the presale opportunity can get their hands on the tickets two days earlier.
