As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, John Cena will be kicking off his retirement tour next year, which will last the entire year before he calls it a career for good.
The retirement tour is expected to involve around 35 dates. We know he’s booked for the January 6th episode of RAW on Netflix, WWE Royal Rumble on February 1 and Elimination Chamber on March 1.
According to a report from Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Cena will be working ‘most’ of the big shows in 2025. He said,
“He’s gonna’ be working most of the big shows this [upcoming] year. I think it’s 35, 40 dates. … Probably he’s going to run 35 different markets during 2025. And every one — or every one maybe except for New York, maybe he’ll do multiple shows — but most of those 35 are going to be ‘John Cena’s last time in…’ San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, whatever. That’s what the year is going to be — a whole bunch of farewells.“
