Rumor Killer on John Cena Returning To WWE RAW In 2026 – An image making the rounds has led some fans to believe that John Cena might continue wrestling into 2026, but nothing has changed — Cena’s final match is still scheduled for December 13, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The confusion came from a graphic on WWE’s website showing Cena promoted for the RAW After WrestleMania at T-Mobile Arena, which many assumed was a new advertisement for the 2026 show. It wasn’t.
The image in question is actually from last year. The link attached to the graphic lists Monday, April 21 as the date for the RAW After WrestleMania broadcast from Las Vegas. That date matches the 2025 schedule, not 2026. Next year’s post-WrestleMania RAW will air on April 20, 2026, from the same venue, one day after WrestleMania 42 wraps up at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and April 19.
There are multiple other indicators that the graphic is outdated. Cena is wearing his “Last Time Is Now” gear — the same merchandise he debuted in 2024 to promote his retirement year — and clicking the “Tickets” link takes fans to a page with no current listings, further confirming that the ad was never updated for 2026.
Cena has stressed several times that 2025 is the end of his in-ring career. He told Club Shay Shay that he signed an agreement to remain part of the WWE family after he retires, but those future appearances would not involve wrestling. He has been clear that December 13 will mark the official end of his run and that he does not plan to reverse that decision.
There has also been speculation about Cena entering the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026, though that has not been confirmed by WWE. For now, Cena’s final match remains locked in, and the misleading website image doesn’t change anything about his retirement timeline.
