John Cena announces he's retiring from WWE

(NEXSTAR) -- John Cena, one of the most popular professional wrestlers of the last two decades, announced his WWE career as a competitor will come to an end in 2025 and WrestleMania in Las Vegas will be his last.

Cena made a surprise appearance at WWE's Money in the Bank event Saturday night in Toronto to announce a farewell tour of sorts.

The 16-time WWE champion has made sporadic appearances in the wrestling ring over the last few years as his stock as a Hollywood actor continues to rise.
