John Cena’s Farewell Tour is about to come to an end soon.

The Champ’s final match will be on December 13th, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event. However, the final opponent is yet to be decided. Currently, Cena is booked against AJ Styles for Crown Jewel.

Apart from John Cena, superstars such as CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and others are heading towards retirement.

CM Punk does not want to do a Farewell Tour like John Cena

The Best in the World appeared on Pardon My Take, where he was asked about whether he would take a similar approach to his retirement, and CM Punk revealed that he did not want to do that.

I think you can’t [do a year-long tour] because he did it. I said this on the microphone with Cena, one of the segments we did, I said ‘We are on the same path. I’m just not egotistical enough to announce it.’ Honestly, it’s the truth. He’s a little bit older than me. It’s one of those things where I know it’s looming.

When I came back to WWE and I blew my tricep right away, there was part of me that was like, ‘Oh, is this it? This sucks.’ Yeah, I came back for it in record time. Pat myself on the back. Six months [later], I was back in the ring and I was doing the best work of my career in my opinion. But after a while, it’s not so much the injuries because you can rehab and come back from anything, but it’s just, man, do I want to do this again? [h/t: WrestlingInc]

He further added that he doesn’t want to set himself up for more injuries, especially when the hard work goes on when people aren’t watching.
