John Cena, the Undisputed WWE Champion, has been absent from television recently as he fulfills commitments outside the wrestling world. The latest John Cena WWE Return Update reveals that he is currently filming the Netflix comedy movie Little Brother in New Jersey, where he is preparing for his next WWE outing.
Cena last appeared on TV when he defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against longtime rival CM Punk at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. He is scheduled to defend his title again against Cody Rhodes, the 2025 King of the Ring winner and the man who took the championship from him at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year.
The two top competitors will also headline WWE’s first-ever two-night SummerSlam event at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Cena’s only confirmed TV appearance this month is the July 18 episode of SmackDown, where he is set to continue his rivalry with Cody Rhodes, also known as The American Nightmare.
Potential Final Opponents for John Cena in WWE
Discussing Cena’s future on the Something to Wrestle podcast, WWE commentator JBL speculated about possible opponents for Cena’s retirement match, expected in late December. He mentioned Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and The Rock as top contenders for this significant bout.
“I think Brock would be awesome. I also think Roman would be awesome. I think both those would be incredible matches, but I think The Rock. That’s kinda it because The Rock kinda helped him turn heel. The Rock had done so much. Plus, The Rock’s the biggest movie star in the frigging world. I guess, maybe the biggest star in the world. I don’t know who’s a bigger star than The Rock. I think The Rock would be great.”
Whether Cena will end his WWE career as the Undisputed WWE Champion remains uncertain, but these potential opponents all represent major figures in his legacy and the wrestling industry.
