John Cena’s final WWE match has been officially scheduled for December 13, headlining the Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. This news was confirmed by Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, who shared the announcement on social media. The event is being promoted as the last opportunity to see “The Last Real Champion” in action, making it a significant occasion for wrestling fans. Tickets will become available on October 17, but Cena’s opponent remains undisclosed at this time.
Speculation continues around who Cena will face in his farewell bout. Rumors suggest Gunther might be the challenger, though it is unclear if he will be available for the December event after completing his current commitments, including an appearance scheduled for Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia. Until then, Cena is set to compete against AJ Styles at the upcoming premium live event next Saturday, maintaining his active presence on the WWE roster.
“The last time really is now. @johncena’s final match is set for #SNME in Washington, D.C. on December 13. Get your tickets on Oct. 17 because after this…you can’t see him,” Triple H wrote.
Tensions Surface Between The Usos Following Recent RAW Episode
Recent events on WWE RAW have raised questions about the relationship between Jimmy and Jey Uso, particularly after the episode’s main event concluded with unexpected tension. Roman Reigns returned to assist both Usos in defeating Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, but then attacked Bron Breakker, delivering a dramatic finish. The show ended with Reigns seemingly siding with Jey Uso while ignoring Jimmy, who appeared visibly upset.
Adding to the speculation, Jimmy Uso shared distinct and cryptic Instagram stories featuring separate images of himself and Jey facing each other, perhaps hinting at a growing rift. This subtle social media interaction may reflect underlying disagreements, both on- and off-screen, fueled by their differing dynamics with Roman Reigns.
Debate Around Triple H’s Relationship with Drew McIntyre
The WWE creative direction under Triple H has drawn scrutiny, particularly regarding Drew McIntyre’s recent booking. Prominent wrestling veterans have expressed opinions suggesting that Triple H might harbor jealousy towards McIntyre’s rising spotlight. Vince Russo and Jonathan Coachman discussed this possibility in their podcast, “The Coach and Bro Show,” highlighting lingering backstage tensions.
“How does that happen? You’re going to tell me wrestler jealousy doesn’t come into play? If you guys believe that, you’re honestly not learning anything from us here,” Vince Russo said.
“I love the dude. I absolutely love the dude. There’s nothing not to love about him. He’s a professional in every sense of the word,” Jonathan Coachman said.
While McIntyre receives praise for his professionalism, questions remain about his future trajectory within WWE’s evolving creative landscape managed by Triple H.
