It looks like one of John Cena’s opponents for his retirement tour has been confirmed in a new WWE rumor.
This summer, John Cena revealed the news that his legion of supporters had long feared. He would soon be bringing his career as an active wrestler to an end. However, instead of one final match, the “Doctor of Thuganomics” will give fans a whole year of moments in a bold farewell to his wrestling career.

John Cena vs. Logan Paul looking like a near-lock for 2025 WWE retirement tour
However, on Thursday night, Wrestle Votes revealed on their Backstage Pass Patreon page that John Cena vs. Logan Paul is a near lock to happen in 2025. The outlet reports that both sides of the equation are “100% interested in that potential big money match.”
There were rumors before Wrestlemania 39 last year that a match between Paul and Cena was being seriously considered. However, a lack of adequate preparation time sunk the booking and instead WWE pivoted to a match between the wrestling legend and Austin Theory.
John Cena is allegedly targeting a WWE schedule with 36 dates for his retirement tour next year.
