Sources within WWE indicate discussions are underway for John Cena’s final match, with plans centering around a premium live event themed after the Ruthless Aggression era. According to Billi Bhatti on the Dirt Sheets Wrestling Informer podcast, WWE is considering this special theme to honor Cena’s career origins.
I even heard that the ‘Ruthless Aggression’ name was being bandied around, perhaps as a very good way to do it
The potential event would align with WWE’s annual holiday tour schedule. WWE is considering two significant venues for this historic occasion: Madison Square Garden in New York City and TD Garden in Boston. The target date for the event is December 27, 2025.
The concept would create a meaningful connection to Cena’s WWE debut in 2002, when he famously responded to Kurt Angle’s open challenge by declaring his “ruthless aggression” before slapping the Olympic gold medalist. That moment launched Cena’s journey to becoming one of WWE’s most decorated champions.
