John Cena made a special announcement tonight regarding his upcoming final appearance on WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.
During Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, Cena said that the show is going to close out one chapter, but open another. He then announced that the show will feature “exhibition matches.” These matches will see several main roster superstars holding open challenges to some of NXT’s biggest stars.
The concept, Cena explained, is that he wants to use his last show to open the door for the future of WWE to come forward. The matches join the previously announced tournament that will determine Cena’s last opponent.
During Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE announced that next week’s episode of RAW would kickstart a 16-man tournament. Titled The Last Time is Now Tournament. The tournament’s winner will be the one to face off against Cena at his final ever match, on the December 13, 2025 rendition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
The tournament will feature competitors from RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and, in a surprise twist, even people who don’t work at WWE. This opens the door to any number of potential surprise entrants, all of whom would likely love to be Cena’s last opponent.
