4 WWE stars John Cena can pass the torch to at Saturday Night’s Main Event 2025

John Cena's final WWE match has officially been confirmed. It's on December 13, 2025, at Saturday Night's Main Event (SNME) in Washington, D.C. Cena has only five televised appearances left, which also includes a match against AJ Styles at Crown Jewel on October 11, 2025.

The Champ's last opponent hasn't been announced yet. Since that would be his final match in the company, the one who gets it will have a golden chance to make it big on a grand stage. By putting that wrestler over, Cena could ultimately be passing the torch to him.

In this listicle, we will discuss four superstars whom John Cena can pass the torch to at SNME.

#4. Gunther

Gunther is rumored to be Cena's last opponent in WWE. The Ring General has been out of action since losing his World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk at SummerSlam 2025. During the match, he had suffered a broken nose, because of which he was written off TV for some time.

However, the Austrian can make a comeback on RAW after Crown Jewel and challenge Cena for a match at SNME. Gunther would also be the best candidate to beat Cena in his final match because he is a credible superstar to take forward Cena's legacy. He beat Goldberg in his retirement match earlier this year, and now he stands a chance to beat the 17-time WWE Champion, John Cena.

#3. Former WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Warrior is another superstar who can clash with Cena in his final match. McIntyre hasn't squared off against Cena in a singles match ever. They did clash in a tag team match a few weeks ago on SmackDown.

However, a singles clash is something that fans would love to see. The Scottish Psycopath is one of the best performers inside the ring. He is a former WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion. Everything is in his favor to be booked as Cena's last opponent. Moreover, McIntyre himself recently said that he'll push the management to book him in a match against John Cena. Whether that happens or not, only time will tell.

#2. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker is another name doing the rounds as Cena's last opponent in WWE. The Badass has stormed to the top of the company in no time. He is also considered one of its best performers and hailed as the next big thing in the WWE.

WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley also recently said that he would like to see Cena in a singles match with Bron Breakker. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bubba said he wants to see this match because he wants Cena's opponent to be someone who can benefit from it.

According to him, Breakker is that someone. It remains to be seen whether the company will let this match happen or not.

#1. Dominik Mysterio

According to a report by Bodyslam.net, Dominik Mysterio's name is being internally discussed as Cena's last opponent at SNME. Dom is considered one of the best younger talents in the locker room. He is also the current Intercontinental Champion and the AAA Mega Champion.

The IC Title is the only one that has eluded Cena in his entire career. If he wins that, he'll also become a Grand Slam Champion. Moreover, Dom also recently teased Cena for a match. He taunted him, saying that if Cena actually wanted to become Grand Slam Champion, he could fight him. Since Dominik is a young superstar who might benefit immensely from a match with Cena, the company might just book this match.

It now remains to be seen who John Cena faces in his last-ever match in WWE.
