The biggest mystery currently swirling around WWE centers on John Cena’s final match with the company. The “Face That Runs The Place” is set to hang up his boots at next month’s *Saturday Night’s Main Event* (SNME) in Washington, D.C., and fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal of who will step into the ring against Cena for his farewell bout.
Earlier this month, John Cena announced the **Last Time Is Now** tournament, a competition designed to determine the worthy opponent who will face the legendary 17-time world champion in his final match. This tournament will feature an exciting blend of youthful talent and seasoned veterans, all vying for the honor of being Cena’s last adversary in professional wrestling.
In an exclusive interview with *Sportskeeda Wrestling*, John Cena Sr. shared his thoughts on the potential storyline leading up to Cena’s final match. He suggested that his son should capture the Intercontinental Championship from Dominik Mysterio at *Survivor Series*. Cena Sr. believes this would set the stage for a rematch at *Saturday Night’s Main Event*, where Dominik could reclaim the title by defeating Cena, giving the young Mysterio a significant career boost.
> “I don’t think we should stop the storyline there. At the very last match in Washington, DC, it should be Mysterio against Cena to get his belt back. That would close that chapter. The one thing I’ve seen with the WWE writing this tour is [that] there’s been a lot of storylines with no finishes,” John Cena Sr. explained.
It remains uncertain whether Dominik Mysterio will be included in the *Last Time Is Now* tournament. However, on this week’s episode of *Monday Night RAW*, WWE official Adam Pearce announced the first two matches of the tournament. The opening bouts will see two of Cena’s past rivals battle it out: Rusev will take on Damian Priest, while Shinsuke Nakamura faces Sheamus.
As the tournament unfolds, fans will be closely watching to see which superstar earns the coveted opportunity to step into the ring with John Cena for his final WWE showdown.
