The John Cena farewell tour will be the focal point of 2025 as The Cenation Leader will embark on the last leg of his two-decade-plus WWE career. John Cena will be appearing for 30-40 dates on his retirement tour and will wrestle his final match in WWE in December 2025.
John Cena farewell tour kicked off on RAW’s debut episode on Netflix in Los Angeles on January 6th, 2025. The night saw him lay out his plan of action on the tour while also dropping some hints for the fans for what to expect on his last journey as an WWE in-ring performer. Here are the top 3 accolades John Cena can win on his farewell tour:
3. Becoming a WWE Grand Slam Champion
John Cena has achieved every major accolade in WWE. From multiple WrestleMania main events to countless WWE titles, Cena has etched incredible accolades in his career, but he is yet to achieve the honor of being a Grand Slam Champion, something many of his contemporaries have claimed way before him.

However, John Cena farewell tour can present him with the opportunity to claim the accolade of Grand Slam. For the same, Cena has to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, the only major WWE title he has not won or even contested for on live television programming.
2. Cena ties with Austin for most Royal Rumble wins
As part of the first action on the John Cena farewell tour, The Face that Runs the Place would be entering the 2025 Men’s WWE Royal Rumble match. Initially reluctant, Cena changed his mind upon hearing the fans’ support and declared himself for the match in hopes of earning a match to win his 17th WWE World Championship.

Moreover, numerous reports have hinted to the face that John Cena would walk away the winner of the Royal Rumble and go to WrestleMania to challenge for the World title. This could be a real possibility and would tie Cena for the record of most Rumble wins with the only man to win it thrice in WWE history, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
1. 17th World title could be the highlight of the John Cena farewell tour
One thing that the WWE Universe has been clamouring for years is see John Cena win his 17th WWE World Championship. Moreover, Cena himself addressed the speculation on RAW on Netflix debut show and decided to do it before his retirement by declaring himself for the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 match taking place in February at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana, Indianapolis.
The best way you can show gratitude to us is to give us that memory of you going on a run reminiscent of your prime years and winning that 17th world title @JohnCena

You deserve that accomplishment and we deserve that feeling.
Sincerely yours,Cenation. pic.twitter.com/okPIpFz0xS
This could be the highlight of the John Cena farewell tour which could happen at WrestleMania 41. As per some reports, Cena is being considered for a World title match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this year which could be the moment he dethrones The American Nightmare to win his 17th World title that could become one of the biggest moments in WrestleMania history.
