John Cena’s final WWE appearance at Saturday Night Main Event on December 13th has seen more wrestlers added to the card. Cena’s last WWE match will be against Gunther, with the rest of the show featuring bouts between main roster wrestlers and NXT stars—a concept Cena specifically requested. Confirmed matches so far include Bayley versus Sol Luka and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes versus NXT Champion Oba Femi. Femi was spotted in the crowd during Raw to ignite anticipation for their match.
Among the NXT talents present was Jevon Evans, the recent Iron Survivor Challenge winner, who will also compete in a tag team match on Saturday Night Main Event. Evans will team up with TNA Wrestling X Division Champion Leon Slater to face off against World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee. Following his Iron Survivor triumph, Evans is set to challenge Oba Femi for the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil in early January. Meanwhile, Kendall Gray won the Women’s Iron Survivor and earned her shot at the NXT Women’s Championship held by Jaycee Jayne.
Fan Take: This lineup is a thrilling mix of established stars and rising talent that highlights the depth of WWE’s roster. John Cena’s farewell show not only celebrates his legacy but also signals fresh opportunities for NXT and TNA stars to shine, which could bring exciting new storylines to the forefront of WWE programming.
