John Cena Gets a Massive Surprise Following WWE Night of Champions

John Cena received a special plaque from Riyadh Season following his final appearance in Saudi Arabia, where he competed at the Night of Champions premium live event. The gesture honored the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion after his title defense on the show.

The event is a key stop on Cena’s ongoing farewell tour, billed as “The Last Time Is Now,” which is slated to conclude with his retirement in December 2025. This final run as a full-time competitor began after he captured the championship from Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania earlier in the year.

At Night of Champions, Cena successfully defended his title against longtime rival CM Punk. The match, which headlined the show in Riyadh, was met with a strong, positive reaction from the fans in attendance.

With his last match in Saudi Arabia now behind him, Cena’s attention turns to his next major championship defense. He is scheduled to face the 2025 King of the Ring winner, Cody Rhodes, in a high-stakes match at SummerSlam, which takes place on August 2 and 3.

The SummerSlam encounter is one of a limited number of appearances left for Cena, with his remaining schedule running through the end of the year. His tour includes stops for WWE SmackDown, international premium live events like Clash in Paris, and a final appearance at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29 before his career concludes.
