"Told y’all he ain’t facing Cena," "Thought he'd retired?" - Fans erupt after WWE legend's whereabouts amid hiatus is finally revealed

WWE legend John Cena is nearing in-ring retirement. The 48-year-old's final opponent will be decided by the ongoing 16-man tournament, called the Last Time Is Now Tournament. Its participants include stars such as Damian Priest and Shinsuke Nakamura, among others.

The Cenation Leader has feuded with numerous names throughout his career, like CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, The Rock, and more. However, his rivalry with Adam Copeland (fka Edge) is legendary. Fans wanted the AEW star, who is on a hiatus, to be Cena's final opponent. However, that is impossible because World Wrestling Entertainment and All Elite Wrestling are competitors, and Tony Khan wouldn't allow The Rated R Superstar to wrestle Cena.

Fans were still hopeful for a miracle, but their dreams were recently shattered. According to PWInsider Elite's Mike Johnson, the former Edge was spotted in London to film his role for The Beekeeper 2. He will reportedly be working on the film throughout this month.

John Cena sends an emotional message after becoming WWE Intercontinental Champion in Boston

John Cena became the WWE Intercontinental Champion by defeating Dominik Mysterio on Raw this week. This show took place in his hometown of Boston.

After winning the prestigious title for the first time in his career, he sent an emotional message on X thanking his hometown people for their constant support.

"Thank you Boston. It meant so much to be able, for one last time, to be allowed an opportunity to do what I love, in a place I love, surrounded by those I love. Our performances are only meaningful if YOU the audience invest in us and decide they are. The smile on my face and awe in my eyes in this small clip is an honest show of grateful disbelief & appreciation for all you’ve ever invested in me. Last night meant more than I can ever express. Thank you Boston," he wrote.

Cena is going to be missed once he hands up his boots. Hopefully, he will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame soon.
