John Cena’s WWE Retirement Match in 2025

The greatest of all time John Cena has just 4 appearances left as an active WWE performer. He has a maximum of 4 Matches and the final match will be on 13th December at Saturday’s Night Main Event. The WWE fans have been giving their opinions as to who should be the last opponent for John Cena. 


Let’s look at the Top 5 Opponents for John Cena’s Retirement Match 


1) Gunther

The number 1 opponent that a lot of WWE fans want is Gunther. Gunther is one of the biggest heels in WWE and he has already retired Goldberg earlier in the year. Gunther is also one of the best wrestlers in the world and he will give John Cena the perfect retirement match. John Cena would want to give the rub to someone to have the honour to retire John Cena. Gunther has been absent from WWE for 70 days. The WWE fans miss him and him being the last opponent for John Cena is perfect. 


2) Bron Breakker

Bron is one of the fastest rising stars in the WWE. He has become destructive and he is an important part of The Vision. He is very young and having him retire John Cena will truly catapult him to the main event scene in WWE. Bron is one of the best athletes in WWE and the form that John Cena is in , he will give Bron Breakker his best singles match. Paul Heynan will campaign for this match to happen. Bronson Reed recently defeated Roman Reigns so him beating John Cena after that will be difficult to accept for the WWE fans. 


3) Dominik Mysterio

The Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio is another young man that could benefit greatly from being the last opponent for John Cena. It is rumoured that he might be the opponent for John Cena at Survivor Series in his home town in San Diego CA. However the final match will have a special significance so Dominik Mysterio would want the last match instead at Survivor Series. John Cena must love Dominik Mysterio as he has been seeing him from his childhood. Dominik Mysterio has been the best heel in WWE over the last 4 years. This moment would be earned instead of being given to him. 


4) Roman Reigns

After the three young wrestlers it is time to look at some all time legends. Roman Reigns has been the face of WWE for the past 10 years and John Cena was the face for 15 years before that. The match writes itself. This match would please everyone as Roman Reigns is not the heel he once was. John Cena vs Roman Reigns as the last match will be the 2 faces of WWE going at it. The quality of this match will be extraordinary as both men are ring generals. He will not have The Bloodline so it will be a one on one match. Triple H would look to give John Cena the biggest match possible. 


5) The Rock

This list would have been incomplete without this name. The Rock was responsible for the heel turn of John Cena at Elimination Chamber and the fans hated the aftermath. The Rock has not been seen in WWE ever since March. He can surprise John Cena by being the final opponent. John Cena will be at Survivor Series in November and after that he will be directly appearing at the retirement match. The Rock vs John Cena 3 to wrap up the career of John Cena will be special. This match will get mainstream attention regardless who is the opponent as WWE will promote this everywhere.
