We've seen him slide around in supercars in Fast and Furious, act goofy in his undies in Peacemaker, flirt with Barbie and Ken, and even trade punches with Jackie Chan. But John Cena is, above all, a ring legend. The real deal, the tough guy, the one who brings the smell of sweat, the sound of slamming ropes, and the buzz of heated microphones. At 48 years old, this American superstar will hang up his boots by the end of the year… and not just anywhere: in Lyon, please.

It's official: on August 29, 2025, John Cena will give French fans one last appearance in person, with muscles and sweat, at the LDLC Arena. And when we say "last time," it's not just a promotional spin. This will indeed be his very final match in France, as part of a WWE show that promises to shake Décines all the way to the périph'.

The GOAT's Farewell to the Wrestling World

The announcement was dropped on X (formerly Twitter) by AEG Presents France, and the news spread faster than a Randy Orton RKO. Cena is already headlining the event, alongside Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, LA Knight, Tiffany Stratton, and Drew McIntyre. Let's just say, the lineup is as solid as Cena's pecs!

With nearly 11,000 fans gathered each night during the 2024 edition, we can expect...Get ready for a tidal wave. And given the buzz around this latest tour, tickets are likely to sell out as fast as a finish at Cena: “You can’t see me” will quickly become “you can’t seat here.” So prepare your signs, warm up those vocal cords, and mark your evening off: the GOAT is coming to say goodbye, and he’s planning to do it with a bang.
