John Cena to play final WWE match in December

WWE legend John Cena's career finale announced for December 13 at Capital One Arena, concluding his year-long retirement tour after 17 world championships.

"Washington, D.C. is the Sports Capital and the perfect place to honour John Cena's remarkable legacy - Angie M Gates, Events DC President and CEO"

Washington DC, September 30

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) icon and 17-time world champion wrestler John Cena's final match will take place on December 13 as a part of 'Saturday Night's Main Event' in Washington DC.

"WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, in partnership with Events DC, the official convention and sports authority for the nation's capital, today announced that 17-time World Champion John Cena's final match will headline Saturday Night's Main Event on Saturday, December 13, at Monumental Sports & Entertainment's Capital One Arena in Washington DC," WWE said in a release.

After a year-long farewell tour, with stops at WrestleMania 41 and SummerSlam along the way, Cena's career - highlighted by 17 World Championships, five US Championship title reigns and two Royal Rumble victories - will come to an emotional close live from the nation's capital, the release said.

"Washington, D.C. is the Sports Capital and the perfect place to honour John Cena's remarkable legacy," said Angie M Gates, President and CEO of Events DC.

"We are excited to welcome WWE fans from our city and around the globe to witness an unforgettable final showdown in our nation's capital. We deeply value our partnership with WWE and look forward to providing fans with an experience they will cherish forever," added Angie.

Cena, 48, has enjoyed a wonderful year so far. He is known for his in-ring technique, charity work outside the ring, and his longevity. He began his retirement tour, finishing as runners-up to Jey Uso at the 'Royal Rumble' in February.

He sealed his status as the number one contender to the WWE Undisputed Championship at the 'Elimination Chamber' and eventually defeated Cody Rhodes to secure his record 17th world championship.

This was followed by successful title defences against old rivals Randy Orton and CM Punk. However, at Summerslam, he lost the title to Cody in August.

A quick-paced match with Logan Paul followed at 'Clash in Paris' event, followed by a defeat to a returning Brock Lesnar at 'Wrestlepalooza' in September. Cena's retirement tour this year has seen him go back to some of his old rivalries and share the ring with some new talent. On October 11, Cena will take on AJ Styles, another acclaimed rival of his, at the 'Crown Jewel' event in Perth on October 11.

What an incredible career! 17 world championships is just mind-blowing. I appreciate how he balanced wrestling with his charity work. Hope WWE organizes some viewing events in India for his final match.

While I respect John Cena's legacy, I feel WWE should have given this final match to younger Indian wrestlers like Jinder Mahal or Veer Mahan. We need more Indian representation in main events. Still, wishing Cena all the best for his retirement!

Living in Delhi but grew up watching WWE. Cena vs Orton matches were legendary! The timing is perfect for Indian fans - morning match in US means evening here. Planning a watch party with friends! 🏆

His match against AJ Styles in Perth will be epic! Two legends going at it. Hope WWE Network subscription in India doesn't get too expensive for this event. Cena deserves a grand farewell after all he's given to wrestling.

My brother and I used to argue about Cena vs Undertaker back in school days 😄 Time flies! 48 is a good age to retire from wrestling. Hope he enjoys his retirement and maybe visits India for some charity events.
