Vince McMahon has been absent from WWE since January 2024 following serious misconduct allegations tied to the Janel Grant lawsuit.

His resignation from his position as CEO and chairman marked the end of an era for the company he built. This departure created a noticeable void in WWE leadership and on-screen presence, leaving fans and analysts to speculate about his potential return.

Meanwhile, John Cena’s final WWE match is believed to be set for the last Saturday Night’s Main Event of the year in Boston, Massachusetts, expected to occur in mid-December 2025, marking a significant moment in WWE history.

Bully Ray spoke on Busted Open Radio about the possibility of Vince McMahon returning to WWE to send John Cena off in his final match. Ray highlighted the deep connection between Cena and McMahon. Mr. McMahon played a crucial role in Cena’s meteoric rise and sustained success in WWE

“Cena’s last match will be in Boston or his last appearance will be in Boston. People will be crying their eyes out over John’s retirement. It’s going to be a very emotional night. People will be very happy, tears of joy, a little bit of sadness.”

“Vince is the guy who gave Cena his opportunity. Stephanie is the one who truly gave John his opportunity because she heard him rapping at the back of the tour bus. John and Vince have remained friends through everything.”

“If Vince were to come out in that moment to give John his final farewell, I think the people would like to see that or would embrace it. Because it was Vince McMahon’s WWE that John Cena was the face of. He was the face of Ruthless Aggression, the biggest babyface in the company during Vince McMahon’s time. I think they can ride that wave.”

Could Vince McMahon Be Next To Return To WWE After Brock Lesnar?

Brock Lesnar’s shocking return at SummerSlam 2025 reignited speculation that Vince McMahon could be next to make a comeback. Many fans and analysts see Lesnar’s return as a possible test or precursor for McMahon’s reentry into WWE.

Though McMahon’s return remains uncertain amid ongoing legal issues, the connection between these two powerful figures fuels expectations of dramatic moments ahead in WWE programming.

In February 2025, Brock Lesnar was named in the amended Janel Grant lawsuit, which alleged McMahon shared explicit content involving Grant to entice Lesnar into re-signing with WWE in 2021. Lesnar wasn’t accused of wrongdoing but was named in the complaint, leading to a temporary WWE hiatus before his 2025 return.
