6 WWE stars John Cena could face upon his return to RAW in Boston

John Cena’s Farewell Tour is nearing its finale, and his upcoming return to RAW in Boston on November 10, 2025, will be one of his last major appearances before retirement. After his incredible match against AJ Styles at Crown Jewel, Cena only has a handful of dates left.

The Franchiee Player is now set for only 4 more appearances, which includes his final match on Saturday Night’s Main Event. With limited time remaining, several top WWE stars could line up to share the ring with the 16-time World Champion one last time. Let’s check out a few names Cena could face on his red brand appearance in Boston.

#6. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker has been on a dominant run since turning on Seth Rollins and stepping into the main event spotlight. However, the young powerhouse still needs that one big victory to prove himself as the future of the industry.

While there are a number of top names Breakker could face, the best way to do so is by facing the Greatest of All Time and defeating him. A match like this could give Breakker the rub that he wants and probably get him to the top of the industry.

#5. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio and John Cena share a bond built on respect and years of history together in WWE. Their last major encounter between both men was over a decade ago, and fans have been waiting to see both legends collide in the squared circle one final time.

With Mysterio nearing his retirement too, a one-on-one rematch between two of WWE’s most beloved icons could turn out to be legendary. Further, a match between both men could run back the iconic history they share, and a potential victory for Cena could enhance his spot ahead of his final match.

#4. Austin Theory

Austin Theory got the biggest win of his career at WrestleMania 39 when he picked up a victory over John Cena. However, since then, Theory’s momentum has stalled, and he’s struggled to recapture that same spotlight.

Cena’s return to RAW in Boston provides the perfect storyline opportunity for Theory to return and challenge the Greatest of All Time for another match. A rematch between them could reignite Theory’s career once again, while giving Cena another chance to elevate a future face of WWE.

#3. Jey Uso

Jey Uso has been trying to become much like his cousin brother, Roman Reigns, lately. While Jey has been trying to get his own spotlight with a potential World title victory on RAW, defeating a megastar like John Cena could help him truly step out of Reigns’ shadow, and simultaneously make him more like the OTC.

Jey Uso and John Cena collided with each other in tag team matches during Reigns’ feud with the GOAT. However, with the rise in potential for Jey, a match against Cena could prove why he has been in the World title picture lately.

#2. LA Knight

LA Knight and John Cena shared the ring last year as allies, but the dynamic between them could turn around during the latter’s appearance in Boston. Knight has been trying to get into the World title scene lately, and could challenge Cena to use him as the stepping stone to the top.

The chemistry between both men is undoubtedly unmatched and a showdown like this could benefit the megastar and give him back his spot in the main event scene.

#1. John Cena’s former rival - Rusev

The history between Rusev and John Cena is unforgettable and since the beginning of the Farewell Tour, fans have been waiting to seeboth men collide in the squared circle once again. Both men had some classic matches with each other in the past, and a potential showdown once again would be a treat to watch.

With an lot of potential opponents ready to face Cena, time will now tell what WWE has in store for the Franchise Player next.
