John Cena confirmed for big WWE show in 2025

John Cena returns to WWE RAW on January 6, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marking the show’s historic debut on Netflix.

The 16-time WWE World Champion begins his farewell tour during this special episode.

The premiere episode features a match between Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre, following their confrontation on RAW. McIntyre attacked Uso during an interruption of The New Day’s promo segment.

Potential heel turn planned for John Cena’s final run

The possibility of John Cena’s participation in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match gains momentum, with PWInsider reporting WWE’s plans for a WrestleMania 41 encounter with Cody Rhodes.

This program could mark Cena’s first major storyline since adopting a part-time schedule.

The timing aligns with Cena’s pursuit of a record-breaking 17th world championship. Any character shift would be particularly noteworthy, as Cena’s last heel run concluded in October 2003.
