John Cena, one of WWEs most iconic superstars, is gearing up for his final act in the squared circle. As his retirement tour kicks off in 2025, fans and wrestling legends alike are already weighing in on who should have the honor of sharing the ring with the 16-time WWE Champion in his last match. For WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, the answer is clear: Roman Reigns.
Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Angle shared his thoughts on Cenas final showdown, making a strong case for the Tribal Chief. Probably Roman Reigns. Knowing where Roman was when he started I remember a promo where John put him in his place. I think they would have a good storyline coming up if they decided to have the last match Cena vs. Roman.
But Angle didnt stop there. He believes Cenas farewell should come with high stakes. For John Cenas credit, it should be for the World Title, Angle stated. Hes won 16 World Titles in WWE, no one has done that before. Ric Flair won 16, but he did it with NWA, WCW, and WWE. John Cena has won 16 titles in WWE. No one has ever done that. I think he deserves a title shot.
Cenas WWE journey began in 2002 when he debuted with his signature ruthless aggression against Kurt Angle, a moment that kickstarted one of the most storied careers in wrestling history. With his retirement tour approaching, fans are eager to see how Cena will cap off his legendary run.
Cena will also play a pivotal role in WWEs transition to Netflix, appearing on the debut episode of WWE Raw on Netflix on January 6, 2025.
As Cenas farewell matches draw closer, the speculation continues: Will it be Roman Reigns, a fresh face, or even a surprise opponent for his final bout? Let us know who you think should face Cena in his retirement match. Share your thoughts and dream match-ups in the comments below!
