Details may still be sketchy as to what John Cena’s last match will look like, but if John has his way, this much-anticipated bout will take place overseas.
Much has been said about Cena’s potential retirement, with the 46-year-old Superstar being well aware that he is in the twilight years of his time in the ring. Following last year’s loss to Solo Sikoa, Cena teased that he’d wrestled his final match. More recently, however, John made it clear he’s open to wrestling one big final match for WWE.
Where Will John Cena’s Last Match Be?
It’s unclear when exactly John Cena’s last match will happen, but plans are slowly coming together for him. Speaking on a recent edition of BBC’s The One Show, Cena spoke about his future in the ring, and would like for his final match to take place in the UK.
“Fans in the UK, WWE fans, they’re the best & fans in London specifically they will let you know how they feel & I don’t think I’ll be able to choose my opponent but if I could choose a venue it’d be the O2 in London.”
"UK Fans of @WWE are the best!" ?

John Cena & The O2
Cena made his return to WWE at the O2 Arena at Money in the Bank 2023 in July of last year. In front of a passionate crowd, Cena spoke about how important the UK crowd is and vowed to bring WrestleMania to London. Cena’s promo was interrupted by Grayson Waller, who after pitching WrestleMania in Australia, was laid out with an AA by Big Match John.
Cena has also competed in the O2 Arena several times. One of Cena’s more infamous matches in the venue saw him lose to Lord Tensai in an Extreme Rules match on an April 2012 episode of Raw.
