Vince McMahon May Return for John Cena Final Match at WWE Event

There is significant anticipation around the possibility of WWE founder Vince McMahon making a surprise return during John Cena's final WWE match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C., though this has not been officially confirmed. McMahon, who stepped away from WWE in January 2024 amid controversies and has since been edited out of company footage, was last publicly involved in WWE events in 2023, reportedly influencing match outcomes and storylines. Meanwhile, Cena, who recently surpassed Ric Flair's recognized world championship record with his 17th title win, is set to compete in his retirement tour with four remaining matches, including one at Survivor Series where he is expected to win one final championship. Additionally, reigning WWE United States Champion Ilja Dragunov continues to build momentum through open challenges, defending his title successfully and preparing for another defense on October 31. WWE appears to be preparing for major television moments as it transitions from the McMahon era to a new creative regime under Paul “Triple H” Levesque, with Cena's farewell and Dragunov's title defenses highlighting upcoming programming.
