John Cena Set to Face Top WWE Star on Retirement Tour

John Cena, the most iconic figure in wrestling, is getting ready for his much-awaited retirement tour that will put the ex-WWE champion against some of the biggest names ever in wrestling for the first time. Cena made an announcement and with five months remaining in 2024, WWE fans have already moved to 2025.

The announcement was made by Cena during a Money in the Bank Premium Live Event (PLE) held in Toronto.
