The WWE Netflix era began with an instant classic debut show on January 6, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. With the ushering of a new era, WWE fans would surely be looking ahead to some high-profile matches and moments. One of those in-ring showdowns that the fans are possibly expecting to see in the WWE Netflix era is between the iconic rivals, John Cena and CM Punk.
John Cena made his return to WWE on the RAW on Netflix’s debut show in Los Angeles. The 16-time WWE Champion kicked off his highly anticipated farewell tour at the show and declared himself to compete in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. However, the farewell tour would also see him compete against multiple opponents, and one name that comes to everyone’s mind for Cena is none other than The Best in the World, CM Punk.
Can the WWE Netflix era present the fans with John Cena vs CM Punk for the last time ever?
John Cena’s farewell tour would see him embark on the final run of his illustrious WWE career. The Cenation Leader would be appearing for 30-40 dates and wrestling multiple matches. This has led to fans wondering if a last showdown with one of his storied rivals, CM Punk, could take place on Cena’s farewell tour.
The rivalry between John Cena and CM Punk is one of the most iconic feuds of all time in WWE. It was highly significant in Punk’s career in the early 2010s, helping establish him as a main event star. The last time Punk and Cena squared off against each other was in 2013 on an episode of RAW leading up to WrestleMania 29.
CM Punk has already expressed his desire to be one of John Cena’s opponents on his farewell tour and has congratulated him on multiple occasions for having one of the greatest WWE careers of all time. Moreover, The Best in the World has been operating on the highest level since his return to WWE in 2023, picking up important wins over stars like Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins at the start of the WWE Netflix era on the debut episode of RAW on Netflix.
With their star power, a storied rivalry, fans’ support to see it, and the last time left for this iconic match to take place, it seems that WWE would book the blockbuster match between John Cena and CM Punk on his farewell tour. If that happens, it would be interesting to see the buildup to the match and the stage where this mega showdown could happen for ‘The Last Time.’
