WWE is pulling out all the stops to make John Cena 's final match a major attraction for him and the company.
John Cena embarked on the final leg of his illustrious WWE career, and his farewell tour was going on in full force. The Cenation Leader still has numerous dates left as part of his tour, but WWE is already looking ahead to his final match that will take place in December 2025. In a latest update, the Stamford-based promotion has come up with a brilliant strategy to build more hype for Cena's final match while maximizing their revenues at the same time as a business.
WWE might be planning a bidding war for John Cena's farewell matchAccording to James Stewart of 98.5 The Sports Hub, the global juggernaut is promoting John Cena's final match as a weekend spectacle surrounded by major events. In doing so, WWE is seeking close to $1.5 million from potential cities to host this monumental and historic occasion that will surely attract huge numbers in terms of viewership and attendance records.
Stewart's statement mentioned that WWE has proposed a schedule that includes a full week of captivating events that can start on December 10, 2025. The festivities would include The Undertaker's one-man show on December 11, SmackDown on December 12, and a WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, which will host Cena's final in-ring showdown.
He also revealed that WWE began inviting bids two days after the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE and aimed to finalize the city by the end of April. One of the cities expected to win the bidding war is close to Cena's hometown of West Newbury, i.e., Boston, Massachusetts. However, the official statement is yet to be made.
WWE realizes the importance and significance of John Cena's final match and is trying to capitalize on it in a big way. The Cenation Leader recently retained the Undisputed WWE Championship over Randy Orton at WWE Backlash. So it will be interesting to see how his final match festivities will eventually play out when December arrives and Cena would be set to end his career.
