John Cena will have a retirement match, but fans don’t know much beyond that. A new report suggests that WWE may make things formal very soon.
Cena only has a few dates left on his retirement tour with WWE. The final one, his retirement match, has not been announced yet. According to a new report from WrestleVotes Radio, that announcement could come as soon as this weekend.
The outlet noted that WWE plans to announce formal details about John Cena’s final match this coming week. The announcement could come as soon as Sunday.
Earlier this month, WrestleVotes reported that Cena’s final match will take place at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The match will be part of the next WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event special on December 13th. WWE has not publicly confirmed the details of this being the site of Cena’s retirement match.
Fans previously speculated that Cena’s final match would take place in his hometown of Boston. However, WWE announced Cena will be in Boston for a November 10 RAW taping. Reports suggest that WWE didn’t go with Boston for the retirement match for financial reasons.
The Takedown on SI’s Jon Alba first reported that Boston made a hard push to host Cena’s retirement match. However, WWE asked the city to cover the costs of hosting the event. According to F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer, WWE asked for a site fee that was close to the $7 million figure that New Jersey paid for SummerSlam this year. The city believed the asking price was too high, feeling like an event so close to the holidays wouldn’t generate the level of tourism needed to justify the cost.
