The Face that Runs the Place made a thrilling entrance in the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The fans were immediately mesmerized to see John Cena back since that night at the WWE Money in the Bank 2024 PLE. Cena took in the appreciation of the audience as he came to WWE RAW on Netflix debut show and grabbed the microphone for his address.
The audience in Los Angeles showered their appreciation on Cena while he hyped the crowd’s energy and thanked Netflix for broadcasting the experience to the entire globe. John Cena added that there was no place better place than LA to start his farewell tour and reflected back on the early beginnings of his career, from sleeping in a car to being broke and winning his first World title.
John Cena then reflected on the list of possible opponents he could face on his farewell tour, while hinting at the possibility of becoming a 17-time World Champion. But Cena believed that it would not be happening with some conviction, acknowledging his streak of not winning a match for more than 2000 days, but reflected back on the popular saying ‘Never Say Never.’
However, that gave Cena an idea of winning the upcoming 2025 Royal Rumble on WWE RAW on Netflix. The fans were thrilled about Cena’s plans and The Champ declared that he was going into the Men’s Royal Rumble match to win it and once again headline WrestleMania for ‘The Last Time.’
