‘The GOAT’ will be retiring from pro-wrestling in 2025
John Cena’s legendary career is set to come full circle in 2025, as he embarks on a farewell tour to bid his goodbyes to the WWE Universe.
The journey kicks off at the premiere of WWE RAW on Netflix on January 6, and the excitement will only heighten as Cena gears up for the Royal Rumble on February 1 in Indianapolis.
As anticipation builds, fans are left wondering what the 16-time world champion will do at the iconic event. Here are five thrilling possibilities for John Cena’s last Royal Rumble.
5. Facing LA Knight for the United States Championship
John Cena could challenge LA Knight for the WWE United States Championship, adding a new chapter to his legacy. The two have only teamed up once, joining forces against The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at Fastlane 2023.
While both Cena and Knight are crowd-favorite faces, their extraordinary mic skills and star power would make this showdown a must-watch. It’s a dream match that could elevate the Royal Rumble card.
4. Re-Igniting old rivalries
The Royal Rumble is the perfect setting to reignite Cena’s past feuds. Imagine the electricity if he comes face-to-face with old foes like CM Punk, Randy Orton, or even The Rock.
These legendary rivalries have defined Cena’s career and could add a layer of nostalgia and excitement to his farewell tour. Whether it’s a quick altercation or a setup for future matches, the possibilities are endless.

3. Facing Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship
Bron Breakker has been a dominant force on RAW, recently reclaiming the Intercontinental Championship from Jey Uso. With WWE seemingly planning for Breakker to keep the title into 2025, Cena could be a formidable challenger.
Breakker has already called out Cena, expressing his desire to face the GOAT. If Cena decides to put over a rising star, a match against Breakker could be a passing-of-the-torch moment that helps solidify the young champion’s legacy.

2. Challenging Gunther for the World Championship
A massive question on everyone’s mind is whether Cena will achieve his 17th world title to surpass Ric Flair’s historic record. If WWE decides to give Cena this monumental achievement, Royal Rumble could be the stage.
Gunther is the current World Heavyweight Champion. He would make for a brutal and compelling opponent. Imagine the drama if Goldberg interferes, costing Gunther the match and setting up a high-stakes clash between the two powerhouses at WrestleMania 41. Cena breaking the record and then passing the torch to a new generation would be a fitting end to his storied career.
1. Entering the Royal Rumble match for the last time
The most likely scenario is for John Cena to participate in the Royal Rumble Match itself. As this will be his final Rumble appearance, he could enter at the coveted No. 30 spot, igniting the crowd and chasing victory one last time.
A Royal Rumble win would catapult him into the title picture for WrestleMania 41, setting up a storyline that sees him pursue his 17th world championship. It’s a fairy-tale ending that would attract fans worldwide as Cena aims to make history on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
