This is How WWE Should Book John Cena's Final Run 

Being able to see Cena’s retirement is unreal

Damn it’s a hard pill to swallow knowing that John Cena will retire

Matches I wanna see Cena vs Punk Cena vs Styles Cena vs Lesnar Cena vs Rock Cena vs Gunther Cena vs Rhodes Cena vs Orton

I am fully confident on HHH's booking on the GOAT.Vince would've got me stressing.

As long as Triple H is in charge of things i can confirm Cenas last run would become the best, Just like codys wrestlemania victory

I know itll never happen, but i still want to see it. John Cena winning the title at his last PLE and coming to Raw, setting the title down, saying he wont be able to defend it so hes going to vacate it. Let him leave on not just a win but let him forever be able to say "The Champ is here!" cause he never lost it.

We need an intercontinental championship run. Similar to his us title run. Open challenges. And we want 17x world championships

It would be bittersweet if Sami Zayn did an open challenge for the ic title then out comes Cena bc that’s how Zayn was introduced into the main roster w/ us open challenge

Mid card title is still a mid card title. Plus there’s plenty of grand slam champs but no 17 time WWE champion so the world title is the best option.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A 17TH WORLD TITLE RUN!!!!!!!

I just hope Cena wins the wwe title on his final run and becomes the 17th time World Champion. He truly deserves it after all the interviews I saw how other wrestlers talked about being in a rivalry with Cena.

Randy vs John Cena for the title at Mania. Dreaming but wth

Him vs Randy for the Last time,All time Great Rivals, for who will be the First One to Break Ric's Flair Record? Cena Legacy is Forever.

It’s crazy when you break down Netflix’s deal with the WWE. $5 billion is $500 Million a year, and if you divide that by 52 weeks that’s nearly $10 million per an episode of RAW. To me that seems insane.

Wwe would be stupid to not make him a world champ for the 17x time.

Wwe, Make Randy Orton only at WrestleMania that's the justice for both, other events you bring anyone other🔥🔥🔥

Only person that should beat Cody Rhodes for the title currently should be Randy. Have Cody vs the rock at wrestlemania since that doesn’t need the title involved, Randy vs Cena at wrestlemania for the title, and have Cena win and break the record

I started watching WWE in 2006 and stopped watching in 2014, i still catch up to some news like when John became a part timer, and i only started to watch WWE back in 2022 right when HHH was taking over and now im glad to say i will be here to watch John's retirnenet 😢

Austin Theory is just not a Triple H guy. That’s why he was never pushed like hewas pushed during the VKM pandemic era

John Cena revived and saved the WWE back in the day. They should give him the title of 17th World Champion... Even if he wins too much next year, it will make up for all the defeats of the last few years.

Cena vs Cody for the undisputed WWE title truly go out the undisputed Goat

It would be awesome to see him take every WWE title on this farewell tour. Some more "Cena Wins LOL" moments would be a perfect send off.

Idk why, I want to see a triple-threat of batista return vs randy vs John cena because that would be a dream match for me playing wwe 2012 playing that triple threat with those three

Here's how I'd book his final year: First half: Heel Turn. -Cena feuds exclusively with veterans/old rivals. -Agreesively goes for World Title, possibly feuds with punk/maybe Orton for it. -WINS 17th world title. -Loses the title quickly at following TV, PLE, or from a cash in. -Turns face again from being humbled. Second half: Face Turn -Cena feuds exclusively with younger/up and coming Talent. -Goes for Intercontinental Title, facing either LA Knight, Bron Breaker, Gunther, and/or Chad Gable for it. -Becomes Grand Slam champion. Uses Intercontinental title similarly to the US open for a couple of months to boost new talent. -Loses title at following PLE. -With the few months remaining, he puts over new talent. -Finally, he has his last match against either Orton or Punk putting them over. Enters WWE Hall of Fame 2026.

Yooooo My Legendary Childhood GOAT John Cena The 16th Time World Champion AkA The Greatest Wrestler of His Generation Period

With H running, I promise he is coordinating with Cena how he wants to end it.. whatever ends up, Cena will get what he wants regardless of how we want it

I would love to see Cena hold IC title even for a short time

It would be a crime if Cena doesn't win the WWE title for the 17th time. WWE just cannot miss this opportunity. This would be like the disastrous decision of breaking the undertaker's streak. John Cena is the greatest WWE superstar of all time and deserves to go out with a bang.

Cena vs Orton in Boston would go crazy

I have a feeling for his very last match. The one in December 2025. The entrance will be crazy. I think he should do something where it’s a mix of all of this themes all put together. All of his personalities. Somehow make that work

We all know we need one more Cena vs Orton match😢

Cena needs one more match in Boston

Randy vs Cena for the title. Cena wins next night gives up the title. Now it’s a tournament for the title💯 easy done

I think it should either be Bo or Orton for his last match/storyline. Whether it be the grandslam championship or record breaking championship run, either one could benefit greatly, Bo more than Randy

Things I want to see: 1. Cena as IC Champion 2. Cena as Tag Team Champion with Randy 3. Cena vs Rock 3 4. Cena vs Punk.. one last time, maybe for the title at WrestleMania and Punk winning. This would also give Punk that WM main event and if he's winning, it would also mean Cena is already a 17 time Champion.

for the new talent it would be dope for someone Gunther or Bron Breaker to be a part of his Farwell run. For the bigger stars, I think he should go with one last rivalry with Randy, Punk or Cody

With Netflix, Cena can finally turn heel and use curse words we all have been waiting for years!!

I think Cena should have a match against The Miz, at least in one of the first few matches. Not only is Miz a safe worker, Miz has enough credibility at this point in his career that him losing won't matter much should he be booked that. If Kurt Angle can squeeze out one more match in him, it be also be amazing to see him and Cena tussle in the ring, even for a short match. Another guy I'd love to see Cena fight would be Gable. Gable can play the part of the heel and sorta remind Cena that he got beat through german suplexes in that one PPV that I cant quite remember right now. Gable can try to embarrass Cena by doing the same thing, but Super Cena beats him up instead. Another obvious match he should have is him and Orton. Maybe Sami too as a call back to US open challenge years ago. Would also be great to see him fight against Gunther. Wouldn't mind seeing that match as his final one where he loses. Might even be a good way to make Gunther be a sorta good guy, where he gives Cena proper respect at the end of the match. Sportsmanship and all that. I dont think him and Cody needs to have a match though. Would kinda be pointless for two, very big babyfaces square up for no reason. I dont think he should get involved with any Bloodline shenanigans either. In fact, no faction shenanigans at all. Whatever happens though, Cena is definitely gonna be in the next Hall of Fame after his last match, and he absolutely deserves it and more!

The only younger talent i would accept retiring cena would be gunther. He’s the only person i see sticking around for the long run and won’t diminish his retirement like losing to someone who ends up being a jobber or leaving the company.

I want cena to directly Come at royal rumble with his entry at no 30 with 0 rumour of his returning and suddenly that music hits. The superstar to be in the ring should be Gunther, Kevin Ownes,Aj Styles, Priest,Roman and Seth Rollins. Cena Eliminates Seth Rollins in The End and Win The Royal Rumble and Challenges Randy Orton at WrestleMania for Heavyweight Championship 🔥.

I’m heartbeat is going off roof watching this video

SOME TYPE OF HEEL CENA😭! HELL, I'LL TAKE SOME SORTA TWEENER VERSION😭❗️

Cody vs Cena could actually be a great storyline. The American Nightmare vs The Soldier. That could be 🔥🔥🔥 if done right. Keeping Roman out of this would be key. If you could keep 2 fire storylines going while it being your first year on Netflix mannn that would be crazy.

I love the possibility of having a triple threat math with Cody and Randy

Ngl I’d love to see the us title open challenge every week like back in the days

Let John Cena once again issue an Open Challenge but this time, it's for career threatening match tour like what Ric Flair did in 2008 in a series of matches every week. Championship on the line (for the 17th time or for the IC championship) is optional. Imagine bangers every week tho.

John Cena should absolutely fight some old rivals, as well as new faces. John Cena should win the IC, or a title he hasn't won before and absolutely DOMINATE.

Give me one more Cena/Orton, Cena/Rollins, and one more Cena/Punk, before him and Punk team for a brief tag title reign. Then have him get that 17th title win against Gunther. It wouldn't damage Gunther's credibility, and would finally cement Cena as the GOAT.

He’s given back enough in the last 8 years. Give him a good rumble and elimination chamber that sets up a great match at WM. Let him win the IC title some point earlier in the run and lose it while putting someone else over. Then let him go after the WHW belt and win it. Then he retires and vacates the belt. Let him, if no one else, go out on top. They’ll never be able to bring him out of retirement that way. His “Goat” title will mean something and a tournament for the vacant title will push new talent. He deserves it. In 35 appearance, maybe 25 matches + rumble and chamber. He should be about 20-5. And they should induct him to the hall of fame in 2026

This also could be the fuel that could take Bron Breaker or Jey Uso to a whole other level

Big Match Johnny be preparing us for that long overdue heel turn as Big Business Corporate Johnation? 😆

i wanna see vs gunther for 17 vs dirty dom (which will involve feud with finn balor) for either improving DOM's HEEL even more or making him a win over cena vs solo to finish the rivalry and also helping bloodline feud (which will have a vs rock 3) vs anyone who has IC title for grand slam and first time IC title win vs miz a proper match where miz doesnt play possum or cheat coz we never got that vs RANDY for the FINAL MATCH coz who else can as for few tag matches i wanna see him tag with punk priest ko randy rey

I thiink Cena can do what he did back in 2015 with the United States Championship but this time around with the Intercontinental championship and becoming a Grandslam champion in the process

Cena vs orten vs punk 🔥🔥🔥

I think they will give him 17

see if he doesnt break ric flairs record and make his own whats the use

I dig the idea of putting him in the IC title picture

Only Adam “Pimpin ain’t easy” Blampied should do these types of videos.

I want one more big match fatal four way under john's belt and a vet vs vet wrestlemania match at 41, cm punk or orton are great choices.

Cena needs to win the 17th. Not the "main" title what is held by Cody but the "work horse" title. The title run should be 2 months max. Guys he needs to face one more time / first time ever: Randy Orton at Wrestlemania Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns CM Punk Kevin Owens The Miz Seth Rollins Gunther Cody Rhodes Drew McIntyre Chad Cable LA Knight AJ Styles Sami Zayn Last opponent/match: Cody

Do a quick intercontinental championship run that be great make him grand slam John I believe

Make the matches matter

Cena vs Undertaker , one last proper match between the two legends Cena vs Edge Cena vs Jericho ( if possible) Cena vs hhh Cena vs lesnar Cena vs the rock Cena vs Roman Cena vs Batista Cena vs sheamus Last match Cena vs Randy orton , special guest referree : Kurt Angle.

Carmelo Hayes definitely needs to have a match with John Cena.

When Cena does return I hope he returns as heel as thuganomics gimmick

Cena in 2014- 15 time world champion Cena in 2024- 16 time world champion and retired Come on WWE, Give this man what he deserves!!!

Could we see 20 years of career in just 1 year.

AFTER CENA we gonna witnessing RETIREMENT of the VIPER 😢

It definetly should involve a final world title run..& since john cena has been made to look weak on his last few appearances ..they need to do something abt it in order to make him look more intense ..either by a heel turn (like what they did with dwayn) or by making him doing new moves & finishers

Little random but, I would like to see Cena face either Bo Dalls or the Rock at Wrestlemania or at some point at least. I want Cena vs Orton more than anything and would love that as his last match or at mania but I think a great send off could be putting someone like Bo over

Cena vs Edge at Wrestlemania and they retire at the same time would be great.

Hope to see Cena heel turn Something like peace maker in the DCEU

1) Cena wins MITB 2) Wrestlemania could be a tag team match with Punk 3) Wrestlemania final match could be Rock vs Cody, with Rock winning 4) Cena cashes in on Rock either same night or at Raw after mania

Cena v Punk for the ic title is probably what i would want

We need a Kurt Angle return for a true, a damn true final match.

only 2 things I really want out of this run is randy orton vs john cena as a sendoff and a 17th world title reign (albeit quite less)

Cena needs a run as ic champion

Pretty sure we will never see Cena vs Orton ever again Just seeing way wwe books Orton don’t think wwe would book a Randy vs Cena match

I love John cena ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There are many Grand slam champions but he's the only one who can become a 17 time World Champion. So it has to happen. Also John should win his last match as Edge also won his last match.

Orton cellebrates his 15th title victory over Rhodes at summer slam and Cena's music hits and the audience goes crazy and Cena roasts him and addresses that he's coming for that title at survival series war games it's team Orton ( Ovens, Rollins, AJ Styles) vs team Cena ( CM Punk, Mysterio, Rhodes ) and team Cena wins , at royal rumble entered in no.1 Cena wins the rumble to earn the title shot at WrestleMania41 Orton and Cena engage in intense promos and brutal brawls leading up to WrestleMania41 making their feud the centerpiece of wwe, at WrestleMania41 Orton vs Cena in a no disqualification match ensuring a bloody and brutal battle, Orton brings back the punt kick and Cena wins his 17th title and defends it in every ppv at backclash it's Cena vs Reigns. It's a bloodbath and Cena defeats him brutally and then Lesnar Challenges him and it's the most brutal match in the history of professional wrestling and Cena retains at money in the bank it's Cena vs CM Punk and Cena retains and like that he fights all of his greatest rivals Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, Kevin Ovens, AJ Styles and The Miz, retaining his title in each match and then Bautista challenges him for an i quit match at crown jewel and Cena retains and for the last time it's Cena vs Orton in tlc match and it's the most brutal most dangerous most violent match known to mankind and Cena Looses to Orton and the next Monday he's there with an emotional retirement speech and all of his greatest rivals Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Rey Mysterio, Edge, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Bautista are there to say goodbye they share a moment in the ring, recalling their battles and expressing respect, The WWE roster, past and present gathers on the stage to give Cena a standing ovation. Cena takes a final bow closing a historic chapter in WWE history and John Cena retires from WWE.

All the props to Cena for giving it his all and working extra hard to be the Top Guy for the company for years. That said, Cena slways failed to elevate his opponent meaningfully in any of his feuds. Yeah, post 2013, Cena lost to Bryan, Lesnar and a host of others wrestlers, but he almost always didn't give them a clean win or a final convincing Victory in the feud. That changed once he became a part timer and he started doing his part of putting the guys over when he wrestled. But none of the "feuds" he's had after becoming a part-timer are feuds. This is probably the last opportunity for him to elevate someone who needs it. Waller, Theory, LA Knight, guys that are good, but haven't really broken through yet. I personally want him to feud with Owens this time. With Owens turning heel after what feels like a decade of a middling babyface run. Owens' first main roster feud was with Cena. It was also one of the first time Cena lost clean to a taleny from NXT. Owens is clearly much better than what he currently has in WWE.

He said he'll never be a heel. Maybe a heel run is a thing to top it off

Bring back super Cena, that was some of the best entertainment of my child hood.

If there's 1 thing i wanna see at mania besides cena vs Orton its cena vs punk... Or even a triple threat.

He needs to win the IC championship before he officially retires so he can finally be a Grand Slam Champion!

1. Punk 2. Orton 3. Rhodes 4. Knight 5. Reigns 6. Jey Uso 7. Rollins 8. Styles 9. Balor 10. Fatu 11. Andrade 12. Hayes 13. Dragonav 14. Breaker 15. Sheamus John Cena matches I want to see before the retirement no order.

I wanted see 1 on 1 Main Event at WrestleMania against Orton and win as 17th time World Championship and 20th Anniversary of his 1st World Championship

Should John be inducted to the HOF before or after officially retiring?

here's 20 matches I'd like to see happen during throughout the year feud or not, a combination of past and new opponents Cena vs Randy Orton Cena vs Cm Punk Cena vs Carmelo Hayes Cena vs Grayson Waller Cena vs Drew Mcintyre Cena vs Gunther' Cena vs The Miz Cena vs Carlito Cena vs Karrion Kross Cena vs Seth Rollins Cena vs Chad Gable Cena vs Bobby Lashley Cena vs Sheamus Cena vs Jacob Fatu Cena vs Bron Breakker Cena vs Logan Paul Cena vs Dominik Mysterio Cena vs Aj Styles Cena vs Damian Priest Cena vs Cody Rhodes

Cena to win World Heavyweight Championship, Orton to win WWE Championship, both title on the line, ladder match, Mania. Cena wins. Relinquishes on Monday Night Raw. Goes for IC championship to make himself a grand slam champion. Then loses the IC title to someone worthy on his last match.

I bet Def Rebel is cooking up another ass whooping theme song for John Cena like surprise, surprise, it's 2025 an we're on Netflix 🤣

They should have let John Cena be the one who took the championship belt from Roman Reigns that would have been his last match an also braking the record between him and Ric Flair of beening a 17 time champion

Give John cena the Sean Micheal’s treatment? randy turns heal, defeats Rhodes for the championship and John cena take the ic championship from bron breaker. Becomes grand slam champion and once he loses that championship he puts it all on the line in a career vs championship match.

I think Cena should go for his thugnomics heel run against Cody for his 17th. That will answer all the questions raised over the years. Something will sell tickets for WWE like nothing else

Cena's last run will be awesome 😎 He will be the 17x wwe champion!!! He will beat the hell out of new talents including solo,theory and many more. But finally I'm not ready for his retirement He will be missed very much😢😢 My childhood hero He teach me to never give up!!! The G.O.A.T!!!

Sorry but I hate the idea of Cena going after Ic title in his final run there are a dosen grand slam champs and Cena is on a level of his own and he deserves an accomplishment that reflects that

It’s gotta be Angle. At least have him be ref

I hope this will be a good one like a brief wwe title run

Cody needs to be the one to send Cena home To help cement him as this generations “ultimate babyface”
