John Cena Announces Retirement From WWE, Final WrestleMania Appearance in 2025

John Cena revealed Saturday that he plans on retiring from the WWE in 2025, and that WrestleMania 41 would be his last time participating in the event.

John Cena makes his way to the ring during Money in the Bank at Scotiabank Arena on July 6, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. “Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from the WWE,” Cena told fans from the ring in Toronto, which drew a flurry of cheers and boos. A 16-time WWE champion, Cena — like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dave “Batista” Bautista — is among the wrestling company’s stars to successfully make the jump from the ring to the big screen with roles in the Fast & Furious franchise as well as blockbusters like The Suicide Squid, Argylle and Barbie.
