John Cena is coming to Paris on his WWE retirement tour.
WWE has confirmed Cena for this summer’s Clash in Paris PLE, which is being held at Paris La Defense Arena on Sunday, August 31. Cena is among the wrestlers featured on promotional materials for the show. Cody Rhodes, Gunther, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Penta, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair, and Jacob Fatu are also advertised on the initial event poster.
