Cena is slated to face Gunther in his final hurrah at SNME 2025 in front of a packed crowd in Washington. There's no doubt that the event would be a tearful affair, as a star of John Cena's magnitude is rare to come by. The 17-time WWE Champion's influence extends far beyond the ring, with his character's never-give-up attitude being a valuable lesson for fans who grew up watching him.

Now that he's readying to ride off into the sunset, several WWE stars of the past, present, and future have come forward to pay their respects to him. Roman Reigns, who rarely breaks character, has dropped a tribute to Cena on Instagram merely hours before the latter steps inside the ring for the one last time.

Bully Ray thinks John Cena might not be done with WWE

While John Cena has reaffirmed multiple times that he was adamant about retiring after SNME 2025, Bully Ray believes that might not be the case. Ray made a bizarre pitch on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, where he stated that The Rock might show up at the Saturday night event to confront Cena and set up a third WrestleMania match between the two megastars for 2026.

"For some reason, I don’t think this ends in Washington, D.C. for John. 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.”

It's hard to take Bully Ray's pitch seriously, as Cena is not among those who go back on their word. For now, it's certain SNME would serve as his final goodbye.
