Cena was the biggest wrestling star of the 2000s having inherited the mantle from The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
However, over the past decade, the 47-year-old has scaled back his WWE commitment as his Hollywood career continues to take off.
Last July, Cena confirmed that his final in-ring competition will be in 2025 as part of a farewell tour, which officially began in January.

Cena reacted to the announcement on X, writing: "In many ways, this Farewell tour started that July night in London. Some of the loudest (and latest) nights on tour have been in Glasgow. I haven’t seen the beauty of Brussels in over a decade.
"For all of these reasons and many, many more, I’m grateful I can to say “Thank You” to these cities and have one FINAL night together as a family. It’s MY LAST Road to WrestleMania! LETS GO!"
