John Cena set for final WWE Elimination Chamber appearance in Toronto

WWE has announced John Cena’s participation in Elimination Chamber 2025, marking his last appearance at the premium live event. The show will take place on March 1, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, as part of Cena’s retirement tour.

The announcement follows Cena’s surprise appearance at Money in the Bank 2024, where he revealed 2025 would be his final year as an active WWE Superstar. While Cena did not compete at WrestleMania XL, he played a crucial role in the main event, putting Solo Sikoa through the announce table before The Rock delivered a Rock Bottom to the veteran. The sequence ultimately led to Cody Rhodes capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns after The Undertaker intervened with a Chokeslam to The Final Boss.

WWE has opened pre-sale registration for fans interested in witnessing Cena’s final Elimination Chamber appearance in Toronto.

WWE veterans discuss potential Rock vs. Cena showdown at Royal Rumble

Industry veterans suggest The Rock and John Cena could meet as the final two competitors in the 2025 Royal Rumble match. Jonathan Coachman, speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle podcast, drew parallels between their WrestleMania XL interaction and the historic Rock-Hogan moment at WrestleMania 18.

“I think The Rock will be back more,” Coachman said, proposing the two legends could compete for a WrestleMania title opportunity. The event is scheduled for February 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Dave Meltzer offered additional perspective on Keepin’ It 100 podcast, noting The Rock’s potential involvement depends entirely on his interest. “If Dwayne wants to win the Rumble, he’s gonna win the Rumble,” Meltzer stated.
