He will be working 36 dates in the upcoming year, which will take place all over the world. John Cena wanted to do so to pay thanks and express gratitude to WWE audiences around the planet.

I am retiring in 2025, and I start that farewell tour in January. I’ll end it in December, and it’s going to be right around 36 dates around the world to pay thanks and gratitude to the WWE audiences around the world. So that’s what I’m doing in 2025.
