With John Cena’s WWE retirement tour set to kick off next year, fans are buzzing about the possibility of Cena breaking the all-time World Title record at WrestleMania 41. Earlier this summer, Cena made a surprise appearance at Money in the Bank to announce his retirement from in-ring competition, setting his final WWE appearances for Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 2025. His year-long farewell tour includes 36 scheduled WWE dates, and even an appearance on Netflix’s first-ever Raw broadcast.
A Historic World Title Record in Cena’s Sights
The former 16-time WWE Champion currently shares the record with wrestling legend Ric Flair. If WWE moves forward with the current plan, Cena could face one of the reigning champions in a WrestleMania main event, giving him a chance to become a 17-time World Champion—a feat that would place him in WWE history as the most decorated champion ever.
