The 17-time WWE World Champion has only five appearances left!
John Cena’s farewell run is inching toward its dramatic conclusion. The 17-time WWE world champion has just a handful of dates remaining on his retirement tour before officially stepping away from the ring in December.
He is currently set to face one of his greatest rivals, AJ Styles. The two stars are set to battle at the upcoming Crown Jewel PLE. The seventh edition of the PLE will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Both Cena and Styles have resorted to using social media to build up the match, as Cena has zero appearances between his last match at Wrestlepalooza and the upcoming Crown Jewel.
Ahead of the clash, fans were also awaiting a confirmation from the WWE regarding the date and venue for Cena’s final WWE match, where he is set to hang up his wrestling boots for good.
