At WWE Money in the Bank, 16-time World Champion John Cena made a surprise appearance, leaving fans in Toronto in awe and speculating about his purpose in the city. Earlier reports suggested Cena was spotted in Toronto, but it was uncertain if he would participate in the event. His last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania, where he assisted Cody Rhodes in capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship. During that weekend, Cena also hinted at a potential final run before his official retirement.

Cena stormed the ring and quickly announced that next year would mark his final year in wrestling. He expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support over the decades, acknowledging their voices and honesty. As the crowd chanted “thank you Cena,” he became visibly emotional but assured them that his final run would be unforgettable. Cena confirmed that the 2025 Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania would be his last WWE appearances.
He issued a challenge to the entire locker room, stating that if anyone wanted a piece of him, this would be their last chance. During his return at WrestleMania 39, Cena faced United States Champion Austin Theory, who defeated him in a major upset, signaling the end of his era of elevating the next generation. He then teamed up with LA Knight to face The Bloodline and was ultimately defeated by Solo Sikoa. Cena’s final match occurred on the Raw after WrestleMania this year, where he and Awesome Truth triumphed over Judgment Day.
Since his last full-time run in WWE in 2017, Cena has had several matches while focusing on his Hollywood acting career. This transition has opened numerous opportunities for him. Next month, his upcoming film “Jackpot!” co-starring Awkwafina, will be released on Prime Video.
