John Cena to win the Money in the Bank match 2025 despite not being an advertised participant? All we know
The Money in the Bank match 2025 is around the corner, and it has the potential to change careers. The men's contest will see LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Andrade, Penta, Seth Rollins and El Grande Americano locking horns for the coveted briefcase. However, in a weird twist, John Cena may win the match despite not even being an advertised participant .
John Cena to win the Money in the Bank match?
John Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025 on The Rock's instructions and vowed to 'ruin' wrestling on his way out of the business. He then beat Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 to capture the Undisputed title. At Saturday Night's Main Event,
'The Franchise Player' set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship and tried to cost the reigning champion Jey Uso his match against Logan Paul but his plan was foiled by 'QB1'. Cena could not try to make life difficult for 'The Yeet Master' by winning the briefcase and cashing in on him. This could create a situation where he walks away with both the Undisputed and the Heavyweight belts when he retires from in-ring competition later this year.
Cena is not a participant in the match but could be added to it at the last minute on The Rock's instructions. 'The Final Boss' is a board member of TKO, which (in storyline) could explain the move. Cody Rhodes recently mentioned 'The Great One' on SmackDown, suggesting that he could return to WWE programming somewhere down the line.
Interestingly, if Cena does indeed win the contract it won't be the first time that an unannounced participant walks away with the briefcase, which guarantees the holder a shot at the Undisputed or World Heavyweight title. Brock Lesnar had previously entered the match unannounced and emerged victorious.
That said, the angle with Cena is purely speculative at this point.
Are you ready for the Money in the Bank event?
Cena, meanwhile, will be teaming up with Logan Paul to take on Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. The show will be aired on Netflix in India on June 8. The card also features the likes of Naomi, Becky Lynch, and Stephanie Vaquer.
