Look, we all know John Cena’s not getting any younger. The guy’s been WWE’s golden boy for what feels like forever. It’s wild to think we might actually see him hang up those jean shorts for good soon.
Wrestling fans everywhere are losing their minds trying to figure out who’s gonna get the honor of facing Cena in his final match. Here are four dream scenarios that’d give the man the sendoff he deserves.
Cena vs. Roman Reigns
This one’s got everyone talking. Think about it. You’ve got Cena, the guy who carried WWE through some of its biggest years, going up against Roman, who’s basically been handpicked as the new face of the company.
It’s not just a match; it’s literally watching one generation pass the torch to the next. These two have a history, too. Remember their previous matches? Pure gold. A farewell bout between them just makes sense.
Cena vs. The Rock
There’s the possibility that’s got Hollywood buzzing: Cena vs. The Rock, part three. These two entertainment giants have already stolen the show twice at WrestleMania, breaking records left and right.
A third match would be the ultimate rubber match right there. Plus, it’d be perfect symbolism — The Rock showed Cena how to make it in Hollywood, and now they’re both movie stars. The mainstream appeal alone would be insane.
Cena vs. AJ Styles
Don’t sleep on Cena vs. AJ Styles either. Styles brought out something special in Cena during those matches a few years back. The technical wrestling? Chef’s kiss.
These two just click in the ring, and since they last faced off, both guys have kept evolving. A farewell match between them could be an absolute clinic.
Unexpected Matchup
What if Cena faces someone completely unexpected? Maybe a returning legend or some young hotshot who needs that career-defining moment.
Cena’s always been about giving back. Just like when he debuted against Kurt Angle all those years ago, having his career come full circle like that would hit different.
What’s crazy about Cena’s career is that the guy doesn’t just wrestle. He’s out there doing charity work, making movies, and basically conquering everything he touches. His approach reminds me of watching someone play US poker — he’s got this perfect mix of calculated strategy and pure instinct. Every move’s thought out, but there’s real passion behind it. That’s what’ll make his farewell so emotional.
Bottom Line
Whatever happens, Cena’s last match is going to be historic. Whether he’s settling old scores or putting over the next big thing, it’s gonna be one of those moments where you remember exactly where you were watching.
The guy’s earned a legendary goodbye, and knowing WWE, they won’t mess this up. We’re probably going to get something that hits us right in the feels while giving us that classic Cena magic one last time. I can’t wait to see how this story ends, and maybe even ugly-cry while watching it.
