Breaking News: John Cena's Farewell Match - The Plot Thickens!
Just when we thought we knew how John Cena's final match at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event would unfold, the script has been flipped! Rumors swirled that Cena vs. Gunther would kick off the December 13th edition, giving Cena a generous amount of ring time. This was especially intriguing since the show streams exclusively on Peacock, free from the usual time constraints of network television. But hold on, because that initial report might be off the mark.
Initially, Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline reported that Cena vs. Gunther was slated to open the show, with no set runtime, allowing everyone ample time. This fueled excitement among fans eager to see Cena's swan song. But here's where it gets controversial... Andrew Baydala, on December 11, 2025, dropped a bombshell, stating that Cena's last match wouldn't be the opener, despite what others were reporting. He emphasized that plans can change quickly, so nothing is set in stone.
So, where will Cena vs. Gunther land on the card? That's the million-dollar question! WWE could still opt for a dramatic farewell speech to close the show, or they might use the match to grab early viewers before transitioning to the rest of the lineup. It's all up in the air.
The rest of the card looks promising too, with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes battling Oba Femi in a non-title match, Bayley taking on Sol Ruca, and AJ Styles & Dragon Lee facing Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater in tag team action. But let's be honest, all eyes are on Cena. And this is the part most people miss... the impact of Cena's final match on the overall event.
What do you think? Does Cena deserve to close the show with a final, emotional moment, or should WWE let him open strong and then pass the torch to the next generation of stars? Share your thoughts below! Do you agree with the initial reports, or do you think Baydala is right? Let's discuss!
