WWE will be defined by the John Cena Retirement Tour. Now, it seems we have an answer as to who the Doctor of Thuganomics will face at WrestleMania 41.

On the Raw after WrestleMania 40, Rhodes and The Rock faced off in a scintillating promo exchange that strongly hinted at a future match between the two. With Rock currently off the board for Mania, a battle with Cena is probably the next biggest match for the American Nightmare.

John Cena‘s farewell tour will begin at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere on January 6. WWE announced the news during the December 30 episode of RAW. Cena previously confirmed that he would be at the show.

In recent days, reports have surfaced that John Cena’s opponent for WWE WrestleMania 41 will likely be Logan Paul. Cena is gearing up to start his retirement tour, which will kick off in January. The 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion announced his plans to retire from the promotion in 2025.

Punk versus Cena in 2025 doesn’t have to be for a title – though a world champion Punk being all that stands between Cena and the history books is one hell of a hook. The match also doesn’t have to fall along heel/face dynamics, as their 2011 rivalry did not have a clear villain.

As of right now, Cody Rhodes is slated to be John Cena’s last-ever WrestleMania opponent.

It’s less than a week until the retirement tour of 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena begins. This year also marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between WWE and Netflix. The first-ever episode of RAW is set to premiere on Netflix on January 6 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles,
