John Cena is just days away from finally hanging up his boots at Saturday Night's Main Event 2025 and walking away into the sunset. However, The Leader of Cenation is sticking around in WWE as an ambassador for the next 5 years.

Cena will face Gunther in his final match on December 13th in Washington. Several notable names are expected to grace the event and pay respect to the 17-time WWE Champion as he bids goodbye to his in-ring career. While it is anyone's guess who will win, there's no doubt that it will be an emotionally charged affair, as John Cena is among the most beloved wrestlers in WWE history.

In a chat with Tom Rinaldi following RAW, Cena spilled the beans on what's next for him as he steps away from the ring. The Leader of Cenation revealed that while he would be occupied with acting projects, he has also signed a deal to remain in WWE as an ambassador for the next half-decade.

Bully Ray thinks John Cena could delay his retirement

Speaking on his Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray pitched quite an insane idea, saying there are chances Cena might not be hanging up his boots after all at SNME 2025. Ray suggested that The Rock could come out at the show and set up a third and decisive match between the two megastars at WrestleMania 42.

"For some reason, I don’t think this ends in Washington, D.C. for John Cena. And I would not be shocked if in the midst of all of the happy, happy, joy, joy, [Rock’s theme song] ‘If you smell what The Rock is cooking [plays]. I’ve said this before, it just doesn’t sound right — John Cena, last match, Washington, D.C., Saturday Night’s Main Event. What sounds right is John Cena, last match, WrestleMania, Las Vegas.”

Considering just how firm John Cena has been about retiring this Saturday, there's little to no chance that he would go back on his word and wrestle again.
