John Cena's final WWE match headlined Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, 2025, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., ending in a submission loss to Gunther via sleeper hold. With that, his
illustrious WWE career ended with a defeat, but amid an ocean of appreciation.
Cena entered to thunderous cheers and pyrotechnics, his jorts and "Never Give Up" armbands evoking 23 years of dominance as a 17-time champion on his farewell tour.
Gunther, tournament winner, dominated with chops, suplexes, and a powerbomb countering Cena's Attitude Adjustment attempt, targeting the veteran's neck amid "Cena Sucks" and cheers. Cena's rally with shoulder blocks and Five Knuckle Shuffle fell short against Gunther's technical prowess.

Since making his WWE debut more than two decades ago, John Cena has eclipsed almost every other when it comes to connection and emotion with the fans. Along with that, the multiple title stints, headlining Wrestlemania, and an acting career in Hollywood has further bolstered his financial status.
