Having spent over 20 years in the WWE, John Cena is regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers ever. Cena is viewed as the greatest of all time and a 16-time world champion. But Cena left WWE to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. He currently works part-time as a wrestler and full-time as an actor. In September 2023, Cena made a comeback to the WWE, where he spent 14 weeks. Despite his comeback, Cena was hinting at his impending retirement.

On social media, Cena made a shocking declaration that ignited the WWE Universe: he will be participating in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble. But there's a twist that has everyone interested. Despite making it apparent that this would be his last Royal Rumble appearance, Cena never mentioned if he would be competing in the men's Royal Rumble match. WWE revealed Cena's participation in the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event on Twitter today. Notably, the statement merely states that it will be his final appearance "in a Royal Rumble event," without mentioning if he will participate in the men's Royal Rumble match. 

Fans are now speculating about the 16-time world champion John Cena potential participation in the tournament. Is there more twist in store, or might he be a surprise entry hoping to secure one final historic victory? The fact that Cena is a two-time Royal Rumble champion, having won in 2008 and 2013, further heightens the anticipation for his involvement. One thing is clear as more information becomes available: there will be plenty of unforgettable events along the way to Cena's goodbye, which should be just as exciting as his legendary career.
