John Cena is set to retire from wrestling by the end of 2025, marking the final chapter of an iconic career. As he embarks on his Farewell Tour, WWE legend The Undertaker has suggested a potential post-retirement role for Cena within the company.
John Cena’s Final WrestleMania and Shocking Heel Turn
Fans were thrilled when Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match in Toronto, Canada, securing a WrestleMania 41 title match against Cody Rhodes. However, in a shocking twist, Cena turned heel for the first time in over two decades and aligned himself with The Rock, betraying Cody Rhodes in the process.
Despite the controversies surrounding his final run, Cena remains focused on one goal—becoming a record-breaking 17-time World Champion before retiring. His alliance with The Rock could help him achieve this milestone at WrestleMania 41.
The Undertaker on Cena’s Future in WWE
During an episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker predicted that Cena could transition into a WWE executive role once he retires. He believes that Cena’s legacy as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time is already secured, regardless of how his final matches play out.
“I believe that, I do. So I like that model of things. By no means is it going to change his legacy in any bit. Not only does he gotta win, then he’s got to lose it,” The Undertaker stated.
Cena’s dedication to WWE and his leadership skills make him a strong candidate for a backstage role, possibly working alongside Triple H in creative or management.
Will John Cena Ever Wrestle Again After 2025?
The Undertaker also shared his thoughts on whether Cena would ever return to in-ring competition after his retirement. He firmly believes that once Cena steps away, he won’t make a comeback for another match.
“Get your flowers, but more so even for the fans to get that one last opportunity to see because I don’t think, once [John] Cena does leave, I don’t see Cena back.”
Given Cena’s strong connection to Hollywood and his increasing commitments outside of WWE, it seems likely that his retirement in 2025 will be permanent.
John Cena’s Farewell Tour is set to be one of the most emotional moments in WWE history. His shocking heel turn, alliance with The Rock, and final WrestleMania match against Cody Rhodes are just the beginning. Meanwhile, The Undertaker’s prediction about Cena transitioning into an executive role suggests that while his in-ring career may be ending, his impact on WWE will continue behind the scenes.
Fans have less than 10 months left to witness Cena’s legendary career, making each of his remaining matches a must-watch event.
