WWE Plans John Cena Final Match December Washington D.C.

John Cena is preparing for the final five matches of his WWE career, with his retirement match scheduled for December 13 in Washington, D.C. WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry suggested that Joe Hendry, a rising star who has called out Cena, should be his final opponent to help elevate Hendry's career with a defining victory. Meanwhile, wrestling veteran Vince Russo expressed a desire for Cena's last opponent to be Adam Copeland (formerly Edge), though Copeland is currently contracted with AEW, making this unlikely. Randy Orton, another WWE legend nearing retirement, is also expected to have significant final matches, with potential opponents including Cody Rhodes, his former protégé. On the WWE SmackDown front, former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest is set to appear and challenge The Dutch Destroyer, adding star power to the show. Additionally, Tony D'Angelo has been absent from WWE's NXT since July after requesting time off, with no injury involved, amid faction changes.
