An important John Cena Retirement Announcement is expected shortly, with Cena set to retire on December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. Before his final show, he will make appearances at Madison Square Garden in New York on November 10 and at TD Garden in Boston on November 17.
In addition to these farewell dates, Cena will compete in one last match against AJ Styles at Crown Jewel, marking his final bout in Australia. This event, typically held in Saudi Arabia, will take place in Perth for the first time. The match was confirmed following recent social media exchanges between the two wrestlers, though it is reported that the bout had been planned well in advance due to Cena’s limited televised appearances remaining.
While many details about Cena’s December retirement event remain unclear, WWE is expected to provide official information soon, possibly as early as September 28, according to the latest Wrestle Votes Radio update.

Styles expressed hope to participate in WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas but emphasized that nothing is finalized yet.
