The real reason why John Cena has been off WWE TV ahead of Royal Rumble 2025 has now been revealed.
With John Cena’s year-long retirement tour commencing on the January 6 Raw on Netflix premiere, many fans were under the impression that Cena would be regularly appearing on WWE TV during his final run.
This hasn’t been the case so far, despite Cena previously confirming that he will be competing in a Royal Rumble match for the last time on February 1.
Per Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Cena has been in Budapest, Hungary filming for the upcoming Matchbox movie.
The movie – which Cena was reported to be attached to in September 2024, – will be inspired by the toy car brand of the same name.
The live-action film is under the Skydance, Apple and Mattel Films umbrella. Mattel Films were the studio behind the successful Barbie movie from 2023.
‘Matchbox’ will be produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger as well as Robbie Brenner of Mattel Films.
John Cena has now reacted to a celebrity guest being revealed for Saturday’s Royal Rumble PLE, which you can read more about right here.
