John Cena has been highly active and at the center of major storylines in WWE recently

SummerSlam 2025 Main Event: He is set to face Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2025, scheduled for August 2 and 3. This is a highly anticipated rematch following their previous encounters.

Recent “Heel” Turn: Cena made a surprising and significant turn to a villainous character (“heel”) at Elimination Chamber 2025, where he attacked Cody Rhodes alongside The Rock. He later addressed fans on an episode of RAW, stating he felt he was in an “abusive relationship” with them, leading to his character shift.

Farewell Tour: John Cena has confirmed that 2025 will be his final year of active wrestling. He began a retirement tour at Royal Rumble 2025, with his last match anticipated in mid-December. He has a limited number of appearances remaining.

Acting Commitments: Outside of the ring, Cena continues his successful acting career, with his movie “Heads of State” recently released and “Peacemaker Season 2” in the pipeline.
