WWE is expected to announce the venue for John Cena’s career-ending match as soon as this weekend, according to a new report. In a change of plans, the event is now slated for Washington, D.C., rather than Cena’s hometown of Boston.
The information, reported by WrestleVotes Radio, represents a significant shift from the long-standing expectation that Cena would conclude his career in Massachusetts. While no additional details about the farewell match have been confirmed, an official announcement from WWE is said to be imminent.
This development comes as Cena continues his farewell run, which includes another high-profile encounter. He is scheduled to face AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel in Perth, Western Australia, on Saturday, October 11.
The Perth clash will serve as a tiebreaker, with Cena and Styles currently tied 2-2 in their singles series.
The match was made official by Chief Content Officer Triple H on September 23, following a social media challenge from Cena, who has framed his current run around listening to the WWE Universe.
