Summary
John Cena finished his in-ring career in December, losing to Gunther in his final match. He had a bumpy 2025, winning the men’s Elimination Chamber match and earning a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, but later turned heel and lost the title back to Rhodes. He has since retired, but will host WrestleMania 42 on Saturday and Sunday night.

It’s not the first time Cena has come full circle, but it’s always a surprise when he does.
It’s amazing how quickly Cena went from champion to retired to hosting WrestleMania.
