John Cena’s retirement tour is nearing its conclusion, but fans are still curious about who will be his final opponent. Although no official announcement has been made, Cena reiterated that he is not involved in selecting his last rival.
During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show, Cena discussed the wrap-up of his wrestling career and explained that his final WWE opponent will be chosen by the company. He emphasized that he sticks to the traditional practice of working with whoever WWE assigns, rather than choosing his own matches.
Cena expressed his desire to make his farewell tour meaningful both for himself and for the wrestling industry.
When asked if he had a specific final opponent in mind, Cena responded, “No, no. I’ve never acted that way. I always become trustworthy, come out and do whatever they ask, and I really want to make this tour special. For the fans, I want it to be meaningful for the business. My goal has always been to make WWE better than I found it. So whoever you think deserves that effort, I’m good with that.”
Recently, Triple H hinted at Brock Lesnar returning at SummerSlam to face Cena one last time before retiring. However, Cena once again emphasized that the choice of his final opponent was never his to make.
With only 11 matches remaining, Cena’s final bout is planned for December during an unreleased main event episode in Boston. WWE is also reportedly considering adjusting the date to coincide with AEW’s Worlds End event, so the exact plans for Cena’s last match remain uncertain.
