WWE has officially added two new appearances for John Cena to its fall 2025 schedule, providing a clearer picture of his ongoing retirement tour. The company confirmed that Cena will be present for the September 5 episode of Friday Night SmackDown in Chicago and the September 15 edition of Monday Night RAW in Springfield, Massachusetts.
