John Cena drops the Bombshell - Retiring in 2025, for Real This Time!

Hold on to your jorts, folks — John Cena just body-slammed the WWE Universe with news we did NOT see coming: he’s hanging up the boots by the end of 2025!

Yep, The Champ is officially on his farewell tour, and this isn’t just some nostalgic nostalgia trip. Cena announced the retirement bombshell at Money in the Bank 2024, and fans went full meltdown mode. Tears, chants, memes — the whole internet went Cena-mania.

But before you start ugly crying, don’t worry — he’s not gone yet. He’s still got a full calendar of matches lined up, about 36 events, including a run at WrestleMania 41. And here’s the twist that made Twitter implode — Cena turned heel. Yep. He joined forces with The Rock and is playing the bad guy again for the first time since 2003. Hell froze over, pigs flew, and WWE fans couldn’t get enough.

And guess who he’s gunning for? Cody Rhodes. Cena even won the Elimination Chamber to secure a shot at the title. If he wins at Mania, he breaks Ric Flair’s record and becomes a 17-time world champ. That’s GOAT status — officially.

So yeah, Cena’s riding off into the sunset… but not before trying to wreck the place one last time.

And yes, we still can’t see him.
