John Cena BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

John Cena continues his final WWE appearances as he edges closer to retirement on December 13th. Just yesterday on December 1st, Raw at Madison Square Garden marked his last-ever WWE Raw match, where Cena, Sheamus, and Rey Mysterio defeated Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh in a six-man tag team bout. Cena pinned McDonagh to secure the victory in what was an emotional final Raw appearance for the legendary wrestler.

Two days prior on November 29th, Cena defended his Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series in San Diego at Petco Park. This was Cena's final Survivor Series appearance, drawing a raucous crowd that chanted his name throughout the event. WWE announcer Alicia Taylor posted on social media that announcing Cena at Survivor Series was her final announcement of his career, calling it an absolute honor to share the ring with the GOAT during his farewell tour.

Before those main roster appearances, Cena made a significant NXT appearance on November 26th where he announced the full lineups for the Men's and Women's Iron Survivor Challenges at NXT Deadline on December 6th in San Antonio. Introducing talents like Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater as twenty-one-year-olds who are way ahead of their time, Cena reinforced his mission to leave the business better than he found it. His picks for the matches emphasized elevating the next generation of WWE talent during his final weeks as an active competitor.

With just one confirmed appearance remaining, Cena is set to wrestle his retirement match on December 13th at Saturday Night's Main Event in Washington D.C. at Capital One Arena. The opponent will be determined by the winner of the Last Time Is Now tournament. Reports indicate Gunther will win that tournament to face Cena in his final match.

Cena's farewell tour has now completed thirty-five of his scheduled thirty-six appearances. Throughout this period, he has maintained his commitment to mentoring younger talent while delivering memorable final performances. His body has reportedly been screaming at him to end his in-ring career, a sentiment he expressed during his retirement announcement last year. The wrestling icon's transition from active competitor to retired legend is nearly complete.
