RAW EMOTION

PRO wrestling superstar John Cena has officially ended his WWE Raw career after a legendary run that captivated millions of fans around the world.

Cena's journey came to a triumphant end at Madison Square Garden on Monday, November 17, where he teamed up with wrestlers Sheamus and Rey Mysterio to take on The Judgment Day in an exciting six-man tag team match.

It was a special moment for Cena and his fans as he began the final phase of his retirement tour.

Having spent 2025 on his retirement tour, Cena has faced many big names in the wrestling world. Throughout the year, he battled with popular opponents like Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Logan Paul, and several others. 

The iconic wrestler still has two more matches planned. He is expected to appear at Survivor Series on November 29, followed by his last-ever match on December 13 at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.

Social media is buzzing with pictures and videos of Cena's career. In one video, as the Goat entered the ring for the last time, fans cheered, making Cena emotional.

@Desi_Stoic1 commented: "Watching your childhood hero getting old and retired is sad."

Meanwhile, right now, WWE is hosting a special event called the "Last Time Is Now" tournament. This tournament allows the winner to earn a chance to face Cena in his last-ever match. 

Back in 2024, Cena announced his plans to retire from in-ring competition in 2025 during a show in Toronto, Canada. He shared with the audience, “I’ve been doing this a while. I’ve been in WWE for over two decades, and in that time, I’ve seen incredible waves of prosperity like we got right now. WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt.

“And I’ve also seen tremendous hardship, and that’s when nobody knows your name, nobody wants to be your friend, and only the most dedicated, hardcore fans stand by your side...

“Thank you so much always for your voice, because it’s really loud and your honesty, because it’s beautifully brutal, and most of all, thank you so much for allowing me to be here with you tonight.”
