WWE Saturday Night's main event will be John Cena’s last match: Check schedule, streaming timings and other details

WWE is turning this weekend into a milestone moment as John Cena prepares to step into the ring one final time at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025. Billed as Cena’s farewell bout, the match sees him square off against GUNTHER — a clash born out of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament storyline. WWE is framing this as a physical, technical showdown meant to close Cena’s storied career while elevating his opponent in the process.

The show itself brings together stars from across WWE’s brands with several high-stakes encounters on tap. Among the biggest: Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. NXT Champion Oba Femi, AJ Styles & Dragon Lee defending the World Tag Team Championships, and Bayley vs. Sol Ruca, a marquee women’s match. Fans outside the U.S. will be able to catch the event through WWE’s international partners, while American viewers can stream it exclusively on Peacock.

What’s in Store: Cena vs. GUNTHER and the Night’s Key Storylines

Emotion and intensity will collide in Cena’s final outing. After more than twenty years as one of WWE’s defining figures, he walks into a farewell match against GUNTHER — who has made it clear he intends to spoil the moment by beating Cena decisively rather than letting sentiment dictate the night. The setup leaves room for either a heroic goodbye or a symbolic handover to a dominant rising force.

Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi pits two champions against each other in a match that could shape future title pictures as the calendar turns to 2026. AJ Styles & Dragon Lee look to continue their tag-team momentum, while Bayley vs. Sol Ruca underscores WWE’s push to spotlight emerging women’s division talent against established names. Veterans like Kevin Owens have recently talked on Raw about what this new mix of experience and fresh faces means for WWE’s direction.

With Cena’s last bell approaching, Saturday Night’s Main Event promises a blend of nostalgia, strong in-ring action, and storyline stakes across a packed lineup.
