16-time WWE World Champion John Cena has discussed a potential return to the UK during his WWE retirement tour.
At WWE Money In The Bank 2023, John Cena made a surprise appearance where he pushed for London to host a future WrestleMania event.
Then one year later at Money In The Bank 2024 in Canada, Cena announced that he will be having a retirement tour in 2025.
Speaking with TalkSPORT, John Cena stated that he hopes there are UK dates apart of his retirement tour. He said:
“I really hope so. As you know, I’m retiring from in-ring performing next year and we’ll start in January and we’ll do our last match in December 2025.
“I really hope there are some UK dates involved in that farewell. I meant what I said, and I said the same thing in Canada, the UK and Canada have been such strong supporters of the WWE, through thick and thin.
“I campaigned for WrestleMania to be located in London because I think London has absolutely earned the right to host the Grandest Stage of Them All. Nick Khan and Triple H were just there talking to the mayor of London.
“Hopefully, I don’t know, things work out and maybe WrestleMania in London in the future.
“It’s not going to happen in 2025, so unfortunately, I won’t have a match there, but if it does, I will absolutely be there as a fan.”
As previously reported, WWE CCO Triple H and WWE President Nick Khan recently met with London Mayor Sadiq Khan about bringing WrestleMania to London, England.
