There's a lot of hypes regarding the final match of John Cena in the WWE, tentatively scheduled in December of 2025. While no details regarding that match are out, rumors affirm that WWE will use that match as the headliner of the final Saturday Night's Main Event quarterly special of this year. Additional reports are also out claiming that WWE also wants to go head-to-head with AEW in this outing.
WWE counter-programming AEW events isn't a new tradition, as they often put SNME or NXT premium live events against AEW's weekend pay-per-view show. In the latest, John Cena's retirement tour will also be included in this scheduling for the veterans final match. While WWE hasn't locked down the date for his final match, the counter-programming strategy to AEW might change that show.
