Last year John Cena officially announced that he’ll be retiring from in-ring competition at the end of 2025. Cena’s retirement tour officially kicked off when he returned to WWE during the Raw premiere on Netflix earlier this month. However, Cena has not appeared on WWE programming since which has left many fans to wonder about his status.
PWInsider is reporting that John Cena has been in Budapest filming the new Matchbox feature film which is based on the popular toy car brand. The live action film was first announced last year. It’s based on a screenplay from David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper and Sam Hargrave is attached as the director.
Even though fans haven’t seen John Cena since the Raw premiere a few weeks ago he will be making his WWE return sooner than later. It’s been confirmed that Cena will be in action on Saturday as he’s currently set to enter the 30 man Royal Rumble match.
When John Cena steps into the ring on Saturday he will enter the Royal Rumble for the first time since 2018. He previously won the Royal Rumble in 2008 and 2013. If Cena wins the upcoming Royal Rumble he will tie Steve Austin’s record with three Royal Rumble wins.
Stay tuned for updates.
