John Cena has made history after becoming a 17-time champion during his emotional WWE farewell tour.
The 47-year-old cemented his reputation as one of the greatest of all time and the face of wrestling’s modern era at WrestleMania 41.
In the main event of night two of Mania 41, he dethroned Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Championship.
In doing so, Cena became the company’s first-ever 17-time world champion just months after announcing 2025 would be his final year.
Having taken the mantle from The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the new millennium, Cena was WWE‘s biggest star of the 2000s.
However, since 2018, the Peacemaker actor has transitioned to wrestling part-time as his acting career in Hollywood has taken off.
Last July, Cena confirmed that his final in-ring competition will be in 2025 as part of a farewell tour.
When is John Cena’s last match?
Cena has confirmed his final WWE match will be in December 2025.
In an interview with Collider, the future Hall of Famer revealed that his retirement tour would be approximately 36 dates.
Cena has already reserved the current calendar year to fulfil WWE obligations, with his acting on a temporary hiatus until it’s over.
The former WWE champion said: “I can probably confirm that Peacemaker will take us to the end of 2024, and I can say that with the utmost conviction because I have given the calendar year 2025 to WWE. I am retiring in 2025, and I start that farewell tour in January.
“I’ll end it in December, and it’s going to be right around 36 dates around the world to pay thanks and gratitude to the WWE audiences around the world. So that’s what I’m doing in 2025.”
Cena kicked off his ‘farewell tour’ with an appearance at the Raw Netflix premiere earlier this year before appearing at the Royal Rumble for the final time.
He has already confirmed that he does not know how many matches his tour will entail, with his final WrestleMania now done and dusted.
Cena’s farewell tour is progressing as he closes in on retirementGettyWhat has been said?
“I officially announce my retirement from the WWE,” Cena told a sold-out arena and a global television audience last July.
“I have been doing this a while, I’ve been in WWE for over two decades. And in that time, I’ve seen incredible waves of prosperity like we’ve got right now.
“WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt. And I’ve also seen tremendous hardship.
“That’s when no one knows your name, nobody wants to be a friend and only the most dedicated, hardcore fans stand by your side.
“In all those years, one of the most important, impressive things that I learned was whether the WWE was hot or cold, Canadians always show up.”
“Thank you so much for letting me play in the house you built for so many years.”
