John Cena is going to be retiring on December 13 at Saturday Night's Main Event. It will be his final match, facing the winner of The Last Time Is Now Tournament.

While some fans are hoping that Cena, a three-time World Heavyweight Champion and 14-time WWE Champion, would extend his farewell tour until next year's WrestleMania, there is no turning back. Triple H has confirmed that there are no extra few months of The GOAT's in-ring career.

John Cena's final opponent will be one of the four semifinalists of The Last Time Is Now Tournament. Jey Uso is set to take on LA Knight, while Gunther faces off against Solo Sikoa. Uso and Knight have recent history, so there's already bad blood between them.

Gunther is looking to add another WWE legend to his resume, which already includes Goldberg. Sikoa, on the other hand, will try to finish what he started at Crown Jewel 2023, when he dominated The GOAT in a one-on-one match.

Triple H comments on the future of WWE after John Cena's retirement

After John Cena's retirement, the biggest names under WWE include Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. All three stars are already transitioning into Hollywood in one way or another, while also being aged 40 and above.

Some fans are worried about the future of the company, especially with older stars dominating the main event scene. Triple H told Complex that there's nothing to worry about because WWE is in good hands.

"When people talk about the business now and they talk about where our talent are at, yeah, the top players are all in top positions and they're a bit older, but the thickness and the depth of what is underneath them is what I'm most excited about because the field is deep. This business is going to be in good shape for a long time," Hunter said. [H/T Sports Illustrated]

WWE has some top talents aged 30 and under, including Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, Bron Breakker, Blake Monroe, Oba Femi, Roxanne Perez, Je'Von Evans, El Hijo del Vikingo, Lyra Valkyria, Sol Ruca, Jordynne Grace, Axiom, Kelani Jordan and Nathan Frazer, as per ESPN.
