“The Last Time is Now” tour is scheduled to kickoff from February 1, 2025 at the Royal Rumble in Indiana. This will be a farewell tour for John Cena. The tour will have 36 stops across the globe, ending on his last WWE appearance in December 2025. At the same time, there can be many monumental records that he can break during this tour that would cement Cena as the “The GOAT”.
Winning the 2025 Royal Rumble would tie John Cena with Stone Cold Steve Austin for three Rumble victories. After this point, Cena may be set to shatter the World Title record at WrestleMania 41 by capturing his 17th title, breaking Ric Flair’s legacy. It would also be Cena’s 9th World Title match at WrestleMania, which would tie him with Triple H for the most World championship matches in the event’s history. “This could be a record farewell year for John Cena!”
For Cena to surpass these milestones, he will need to unleash his Super Cena gimmick. In recent years, he has lost most of his matches, allowing younger superstars to shine. Whispers as to what he can still achieve are loading as fans call for the return of the dominant, unassailable Cena for one last run. This is an ideal opportunity for the Cenation leader to demonstrate why he’s referred to as the GOAT and go out on top, record-setting high.
The road to this potential record breaking run starts from Royal Rumble 2025. The Peacemaker does know that he needs a miracle to surpass the records but he is ready to put in the effort.
