John Cena's upcoming retirement tour is shaping up to be the biggest story in WWE in 2025, an honor befitting of a star of his caliber. The extremely decorated wrestler-turned-actor made it clear during his historic announcement at Money in the Bank that he intends to wrestle for the entirety of 2025 before calling it a career at the end of the year. Although he made no mention of wanting to win gold one more time, it would only make sense for him to chase what would be his record-setting 17th world title and tell that story.
Otherwise, nothing is set in stone, meaning that he can face a wide variety of opponents over the course of the year. From fresh faces to familiar foes, everyone on the active roster will be aiming to share the squared circle with one of the greatest of all-time. There's any number of directions WWE can go in for Cena's last match, but to ensure his highly-anticipated retirement tour has a proper conclusion, these are the five best scenarios for what his final farewell could entail.
Randy Orton is widely regarded as one of Cena's greatest rivals ever, if only for the vast amount of matches those two had against each other between 2007 and 2014. On every single occasion, they brought the best out of each other and had unforgettable battles. Amazingly, none of their singles matches occurred at WrestleMania.
The closest they came was at WrestleMania 24 where they fought in a Triple Threat match also involving Triple H. If they don't wage war at WrestleMania.
