H2: Cena’s final curtain call — what fans can expect
John Cena, one of WWE’s most celebrated performers, closes out a 23-year in-ring career at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The 48-year-old will face former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther in the main event at Capital One Arena in Washington DC. Cena confirmed on The Pat McAfee Show that his match will be last on the card, telling fans: “We’re last.”
His farewell tour has revisited major rivalries and milestones — a shock heel turn involving Cody Rhodes, a record 17th world championship at WrestleMania 41, and matches with Randy Orton, CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. Cena has publicly ruled out a future comeback, making this a definitive milestone in WWE history.
H3: Net worth comparison — Cena vs The Rock
Beyond the ring, financial headlines are comparing Cena’s wealth to that of another WWE icon turned Hollywood superstar, Dwayne Johnson. Estimates place Cena’s net worth at roughly £60m, accrued from WWE earnings, acting roles, endorsements and media projects. By contrast, The Rock’s net worth is widely reported at about £600m — roughly ten times Cena’s.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson transitioned from a shorter in-ring career to global Hollywood stardom, starring in blockbuster franchises and major endorsements that propelled his wealth. Cena, meanwhile, has carved a successful film and TV career of his own, but his entertainment portfolio remains smaller than Johnson’s in financial scale.
H4: Why the gap exists
The difference in net worth reflects differing career paths. The Rock capitalized on rapid film stardom and high-paying franchise roles. Cena’s earnings include long-term WWE contracts, movies, and endorsements, but he never reached the same blockbuster paydays. Both remain hugely successful, but Johnson’s film career turned him into the richest wrestling alumnus.
H4: When and where to watch Cena’s last match
Saturday Night’s Main Event is scheduled to begin at 1am UK time on Sunday, December 14. WWE is streaming the show for free on its YouTube channel, making the farewell accessible to a global audience. Fans can expect a star-studded card that highlights WWE’s present and future, including NXT talent and title matches involving Bayley, AJ Styles, Dragon Lee, and Champion vs Champion clashes.
H3: Legacy and final notes
John Cena’s legacy in sports entertainment is secure: a cultural icon, 23 years of main event performances, and a crossover career in Hollywood. While the financial comparison to The Rock is stark, Cena’s impact on wrestling, philanthropy and pop culture remains enormous. His final match will be both a celebration and a passing of the torch to a new generation of WWE stars.
