John Cena’s Retirement Tour is nearing its end. The legendary star will have his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington D.C.
The 17-time World Champion’s final opponent hasn’t been revealed yet, and everyone seems to have their own pick. Some want an old rival, while others think a current star could benefit from the rub.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry revealed his choice in an interview with TMZ’s Inside The Ring. He thinks TNA star Joe Hendry should be the one to face Cena in his last match.
“In my mind, I want it to be Joe Hendry. People say, no, it should be somebody that can… I’ve heard people say Jericho because Jericho’s possibly gonna be a free agent or whatever at that time, or it’ll be ‘this person,’ like these Hall of Fame caliber people.
If John Cena wants to give back to the business, you give it to somebody that’s gonna have a career. Just like him, when he came in, and him and Kurt Angle went at it, him having an initial interaction with Kurt Angle is what forced the level of where he was gonna be. You’ve gotta give it back, you’ve gotta give the rub.
Joe called him out early, and Joe’s over as hell. But Joe don’t have no skins on the wall. He beat Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler), and he’s beaten a bunch of people at TNA and several at NXT, but that’s not like beating Triple H, that’s not like beating Shawn Michaels.
He’s gotta have something that the world is gonna say, ‘Damn, you beat John Cena on his way out, holy sh*t.'”
John Cena’s next opponent is set to be AJ Styles, who he’ll wrestle at Crown Jewel in less than two weeks. The Cenation Leader is rumored to feud with the Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio afterwards.
On the other hand, Joe Hendry is rumored to become a full-time WWE Superstar in 2026. He faced Randy Orton at WrestleMania 41 earlier this year and lost.
