John Cena reveals The Last Time Is Now tournament to determine final opponent
John Cena’s final opponent will be determined in the coming weeks.
In a taped segment during Saturday Night’s Main Event, Cena announced that a 16-man tournament will begin one week from Monday on Raw. It will feature wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. Cena even hinted that some of the participants may not even work in WWE.
Whoever wins the tournament will move on to face Cena on the Saturday Night’s Main Event that will take place on December 13 in Washington D.C.. This has been confirmed as Cena’s final match before officially retiring, ending his year-long retirement tour.
Dave Meltzer reported last month that Gunther is likely to be John Cena’s final opponent, mentioning that he would be winning the tournament. The Ring General hasn’t been on television since SummerSlam, losing to CM Punk in a match for the World Heavyweight Championship.
It was further reported that the Intercontinental title could be on the line during Cena’s final match, as it was recently reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there have been discussions about Cena winning the title at Survivor Series against current champion Dominik Mysterio.
