He spoke to Page Six on the red carpet for his new movie Heads of State, which he stars in alongside Idris Elba, about his final match in WWE. While he would not reveal who it would be against, he promised something 'compelling.'
'Well, I don't want to downplay the action in WWE,' said Cena. 'There's always a bunch of action over there. And yes, I'm 48, my last match will be in mid-December.
'We're still trying to figure out a place to do it. I said [I would work] 36 dates in January — we're halfway through. Gosh, it's been a lot of compelling TV, and I don't want to spoil it for anybody, but I think we're just getting started,' he continued.
When will John Cena wrestle his last WWE match?
Cena said his last match will take place in December 2025. It is unclear at what event — perhaps the December 2025 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event — it will take place, but he will close out the year with his final match.

That means Cena has a little under half of his dates left to fulfill. At the Royal Rumble, he said he would work about 36 shows in 2025. However, that did not mean he would compete in 36 matches, so don't expect him to wrestle 15 more times before the end of the year.
Cena announced his farewell tour at Money in the Bank in July 2024. He said that 2025 would be his final year of in-ring competition. So, fans around the world have gotten a chance to see him one last time.
He started the year by competing in the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber matches, winning the latter. Cena then won his record-setting 17th world championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. He won with the help of Travis Scott, who got involved.
Since then, Cena has held onto the title. He has successfully defended it against two of his biggest rivals, Randy Orton and CM Punk. Cena also had a feud with R-Truth, now Ron Killings, in between the others.

Travis Scott & Cactus Jack Present ‘JACKBOYS 2' Compilation Album: Stream It Now
With Sunday (July 13) serving as 713 day, it's only right that Travis Scott and Cactus Jack dropped off the JACKBOYS 2 compilation album in an homage to La Flame's hometown of Houston. The anticipated sequel hit streaming services on Sunday and JB2 finds fellow H-Town rap dignitary Bun B onboard as host, while the project boasts 17 tracks in total. More from Billboard Travis Scott Raises 'JACKBOYS 2' Hype With '2000 Excursion' Single Feat.

Following several teasers, Travis set the tone for the project's rollout with the release of the thumping single '2000 Excursion' earlier this week, which saw a racing-themed visual hit YouTube but never received an official streaming service arrival. There's plenty of merchandise for Ragers to cop on La Flame's website, as Cactus Jack released various merchandise collections and CD/vinyl bundles featuring alternate cover arts to accompany JACKBOYS 2. The first JACKBOYS project arrived in December 2019 with appearances from the late Pop Smoke, Young Thug, Quavo, Offset, Rosalia and Lil Baby. The effort reached the summit when it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It's been a busy year for Scott, who headlined night two of Coachella in April and notched another No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with '4×4' in February. He even completed another side quest when making WWE appearances at Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. Stream JACKBOYS 2 below.

Seth Rollins drops f-bomb after suffering potentially serious knee injury at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
Seth Rollins might miss some time with a knee injury and made his frustrations clear. The former WWE and Universal Champion delivered an expletive when a springboard went wrong at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, signaling a potentially brutal outcome. During the co-main event against LA Knight, Rollins attempted a Lionsault off the second rope but landed awkwardly, immediately clutching his knee in pain. Cameras captured him uttering a clear 'F‑‑k!' as he was helped backstage. The injury led to a rushed finish and did not seem planned. PWInsider reported that the finish to the match was changed on the fly as Rollins was originally slated to win, but his knee tweak led to a last-second decision to have Knight secure the victory. PWInsider also noted that the knee injury appears to be legitimate. Rollins currently holds the Money in the Bank contract, which gives him a championship match of his choosing at any time. Since WrestleMania 41, he has been part of one of WWE's main stories while working with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Unfortunately for Rollins, this isn't his first such injury. In November 2015, he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus during a house show in Ireland, which cost him the World Heavyweight Championship and sidelined him for nearly a year. Warning: Graphic language More recently, he underwent knee surgery early in 2024 to repair a torn meniscus. Medical staff and WWE officials escorted Rollins backstage Saturday amid concern for his health, and he was ultimately helped to the locker room area. 3 Seth Rollins injuries his knee on Saturday night.

WWE via Getty Images Rollins, 39, is a five-time world champion in the WWE, having won the WWE and Universal Titles twice each, while winning the World Heavyweight Championship — the version established in 2023, not the title lineage adopted from WCW via the 2001 purchase of the former Turner-owned competitor. Rollins, who has been one of the company's biggest stars for over a decade running, has also won the Intercontinental and United States titles twice each, and was formerly an NXT Champion before solidifying himself on the main roster. 3 Seth Rollins injuries his knee on Saturday night.

Jonathan Bailey recalls 'Wicked' costar Jeff Goldblum's reaction to his 'Jurassic World Rebirth' casting: 'As long as I've made Jeff proud, then it's all good'
Jonathan Bailey is following in his Wicked costar Jeff Goldblum's footsteps by starring in the latest installment in the Jurassic Park franchise. Making an appearance on the radio show Capital Breakfast, Bailey shared how he found out he got cast in Jurassic World Rebirth. When asked if Goldblum gave him any advice on how to approach the iconic franchise, Bailey said, "Just being near Jeff is an education in itself." Bailey and Goldblum both play supporting roles in Wicked. Bailey is Fiyero, a prince and popular student at Shiz University, while Goldblum plays the iconic Wizard. The Bridgerton actor didn't initially tell Goldblum that he snagged a role in Jurassic World Rebirth, which he was cast in before Wicked came out. When the news broke, Goldblum was encouraging. "He just said, 'Go and have fun,' and yeah, as long as I've made Jeff proud, then it's all good," Bailey who plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis in the new film, said that receiving the offer was "sort of a fantasy." While the producers told him to take his time to consider the job, Bailey admitted he was eager to say yes to the opportunity. "They're like, 'Okay, we're sending you the script, you've got an offer for the new Jurassic Park," Bailey said. "'Obviously, take your time to read the script, sit with it over the weekend, and let us know what you think.' I was like, 'I'll do it.'" Listen to the full interview with Jonathan Bailey below.
