13 December 2025
Cena's Final Bout in Washington
Can Cena finally beat Gunther in his farewell match today live?
The WWE legend John Cena is set to step into the ring for the final time in his career, Saturday night in Washington, closing a remarkable two-decade journey before the curtain falls on his professional run.
A Two-Decade Legacy
This finale comes after The Last Time Is Now tournament, in which 16 wrestling stars competed for the honor of facing Cena in his final match.
Across a professional career that spans 23 years, Cena captured 17 world titles, ranking among the greatest and most influential names in WWE history, and among the most financially impactful.
Cena's legacy goes beyond the ring, spanning cinema, philanthropy, and building a personal brand that has made him one of the most recognizable figures in sports entertainment.
His opponent in the finale is Gunther, the former world heavyweight champion, who captured The Last Time Is Now title to earn his place in a historic showdown against Cena—the first-ever meeting between the two.
The match is scheduled to stream on digital platforms, with reports indicating no fixed time.
Cena, now 49 years old, previously announced that 2025 would be his final year as a full-time wrestler, citing accumulated injuries and physical strain after years of competing at the highest levels.
Even after his retirement from the ring, Cena will remain connected to WWE as an official ambassador.
As this era of wrestling draws to a close, the Cena era leaves a lasting imprint on sports entertainment that will be remembered for years.
Punchline: Cena's new finishing move is The Great Recliner—zero speed, maximum nap.
Punchline 2: Retirement? Nah, it's just intermission on a legend's blockbuster.
