John Cena, a 17-time world champion and a central figure in WWE for over two decades, is preparing for his final WWE match as he concludes a 23-year career by the end of this year. This milestone has generated widespread interest, especially around who will face Cena in his farewell bout, as fans anticipate the moment that will mark the end of an era in professional wrestling.
Insider Vince Russo Questions the Match’s Significance
Former WWE employee Vince Russo recently expressed a dismissive view about the importance of John Cena’s final WWE match while speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown. When asked whether Cena would win his last encounter, deviating from the traditional practice of having established stars lose to boost emerging talent, Russo suggested Cena’s victory seemed likely but added he personally did not care about the outcome.
“I mean, that’s what it sounds like to me, man. We can’t go by the way things used to be and the way things should be, and what worked. You can’t go by that anymore. So, I got to be honest with you, man. I have no idea. And as much as I have no idea, I probably care less than that. I really am just being honest. I could care less. This Cena build and what they’ve done so far, like it just means absolutely nothing.”

What Cena’s Farewell Match Could Mean for WWE’s Future
