‘Increasingly unlikely’ that Vince McMahon attends John Cena’s final match

The tight relationship between John Cena and Vince McMahon has been well publicized with Cena saying earlier this year that he still loves McMahon and doesn’t care who hears it.
That has led to speculation as to whether McMahon will be in attendance next Saturday when Cena wraps up his storied WWE career on Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, DC.
Our Bryan Alvarez reported Thursday that the current feeling that the chances McMahon attends are “increasingly unlikely — not impossible, but unlikely.”
McMahon’s last on-screen appearance came in June 2022 when he coincidentally introduced Cena in recognition of his 20th anniversary during an episode of Raw. The former TKO chairman has been working on his new company 14+I, a private investment firm with a focus on sports, media and entertainment.
The sexual misconduct & trafficking lawsuit filed against McMahon and WWE by Janel Grant in January 2024 is still ongoing as is the “ring boys” lawsuit against McMahon and his wife, Linda, claiming they were aware of the sexual abuse of young boys in the 1980s by the late ring announcer and crew chief Mel Phillips and failed to do anything about it.
