John Cena will receive a lifetime achievement award before challenging for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.
PWInsider reports that On Location will offer tickets to just 20 fans to join Cena for a special lunch on April 19, hours before WrestleMania 41 Night One begins.
The exclusive event will include a meal with Cena, speeches about his career, and a presentation where he will receive a lifetime achievement award. The report describes the venue as a five-star restaurant.
Tickets for this private luncheon are priced at $25,000 each, reflecting the exclusive nature of the gathering.
Cena earned his championship opportunity by winning the Elimination Chamber match to become the #1 contender. This victory gives the 16-time world champion a chance to win a record-breaking 17th world title at the April 19-20 premium live event.
The championship pursuit comes as part of Cena’s recent character transformation. During the March 17 episode of Raw, Cena declared he was “breaking up” with the WWE fanbase, a sentiment he has continued to emphasize in subsequent appearances.
This dramatic shift follows Cena’s attack on Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber, where he aligned himself with The Rock.
Cena has announced that 2024 marks his retirement tour, with plans to end his in-ring career in December.
