First Look At WWE Plans For John Cena Retirement Tour

John Cena’s WWE schedule is coming together.

At Money In The Bank John Cena stunned fans by announcing his WWE retirement. Cena said upcoming events such as Elimination Chamber 2025 and WrestleMania 41 would be his last, although he later clarified he wouldn’t be having his last match at WrestleMania.

The 16-time World Champion’s bombshell announcement was reportedly kept quiet backstage, although Cena’s appearance itself wasn’t much of a guarded secret.

Cena’s retirement tour is expected to run from January to December 2025, with reports suggesting he’ll compete at around 40 dates.

No matter when he finally hangs up his boots, John Cena will be staying part of the WWE family, he just won’t be wrestling.

John Cena Heading To Raw On Netflix

While announcing his retirement Cena discussed Raw moving to Netflix, noting he’ll be there. While fans might be forgiven for thinking this would be an appearance on the premiere episode and nothing more, it seems that won’t be the case.

According to a new report from WRKD Wrestling, Cena will have a “heavy presence” on Raw in the “initial months” after it moves to Netflix.

John Cena will be a heavy presence on the initial few months of #WWERaw joining @netflix, kicking off his retirement tour.

There’s no word on when Cena will be back with WWE, but at Money In The Bank, he did make mention of appearing at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
