John Cena Announces His Retirement From WWE In 2025

The Suicide Squad AND Pacifier star John Cena has confirmed that he will retire from WWE in 2025, ending his long professional wrestling career that began in 2002.

Cena appeared at WWE’s Money in the Bank PLE in Toronto, Canada over the weekend, where he announced his plans to retire from wrestling. He is looking to focus more on his acting career.

Cena said: “The 2025 Royal Rumble will be my last. The 2025 Elimination Chamber will be my last. And I’m here tonight to announce that in Las Vegas, WrestleMania 2025 will be the last WrestleMania I will ever be in. I want to thank you.”

She continued: “RAW is going to make history next year when it moves to Netflix. I’ve never been a part of RAW on Netflix. This is history, this is a first, and I’ll be there.”

The actor and wrestler revealed that he will work at least 30-40 dates in 2025 through the end of next year. He also hinted that a 17-time world title reign could be in his future.

He continued, “People say he’s leaving, and two years later he’s back. I want to make this clear right now, I’m done. It’s over.”

“If you ever want to be a part of it for the last time, we’re going to do it in the biggest way possible and we’re going to fight with everyone, and we hope you come and have fun.”

Cena also told the press that when he retires, he will also retire his patented short shorts. The actor was in the midst of filming Pacifier Season 2.

Cena has had a great run as a professional wrestler, and it makes sense that he would finally retire.
