WWE Royal Rumble 2025 was the path for John Cena, who made his highly emotional return to the WWE television programming. He received a thunderous ovation from the WWE Universe present at the Intuit Dome, Los Angeles, California, at WWE RAW’s debut episode on Netflix. He made a humongous announcement for the WWE Royal Rumble 2025.

During his appearance on RAW’s debut episode on Netflix, which also kickstarted John Cena’s Farewell Tour, The Cenation Leader made a major announcement that he will earn his way for his opportunity to win his 17th World Title and will participate in the Men’s Rumble match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 to challenge either of the World Champions at WrestleMania 41.

However, the WWE Universe has debated since Cena’s announcement whether Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect will outlast 29 other competitors to earn the right to fight for his 17th World Title at WrestleMania.

Was John Cena able to win the Men’s Rumble Match at WWE Royal Rumble 2025?

Now, John Cena entered the Men’s Royal Rumble match on February 1st, 2025, in hopes of winning the annual match for the third time in his illustrious career. However, the question remained among all the doubts that Cena has, whether he will make the magic and win the Men’s Royal Rumble match, will be the hot topic leading up to WWE Royal Rumble 2025.

According to the rumours, John Cena’s final WrestleMania match is the most prominent topic backstage in the WWE. Everyone knows the importance of Cena’s last match, and both Cena and the WWE want to make the most of it. But instead they chose the future of the business over Cena’s personal win by giving Jey Uso the victory to push him as a top star.

As per reports, John Cena could challenge Cody Rhodes for his Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event at the Showcase of Immortals this year. The match now can be set in stone with Cena entering the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber match.

Still, Cena’s road to WrestleMania to chase his 17th World Title is too big of an opportunity for WWE to miss, as fans worldwide want Cena to win the WWE Title for one last time. The journey could very well begin at the Elimination Chamber that will see him challenge for the title for ‘The Last Time.’
