John Cena's final WWE match forces Hall of Famer to make a big change

John Cena's farewell WWE match has forced a Hall of Famer to make a big change. The Never-Seen 17 is set for his final match on December 13 at Saturday Night's Main Event. The show will emanate from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

The anticipation is already high for his marquee event as one of the greatest WWE names bids adieu to a decorated in-ring career. Hence, Booker T announced a major change to his Reality of Wrestling event.

Taking to X/Twitter, the WWE Hall of Famer noted that Reality of Wrestling’s annual SubZero event, originally scheduled for December 13, will be pushed back one week to avoid clashing with Cena's final WWE match.

"In honor of @JohnCena’s final match taking place December 13th on Saturday Night’s Main Event, we at @TheOfficialROW have made the decision to move our annual winter event, #SubZero, to December 20th," he wrote.

The former World Heavyweight Champion also mentioned that some moments are bigger than any show and deserve the full, undivided attention of the fans.

"Some moments in this business are bigger than any one show — and this is one of them. We want the entire wrestling world to come together to watch, reflect, and honor the greatest of all time as he takes his final bow," he added.

Booker T's decision showcases the respect and love he has for Cena, as he is trying to ensure that the media coverage and fan attention remain firmly on the retirement match of the 17-time World Champion.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
