John Cena wrestled in front of a hometown crowd for the last time<\/p>\n
On Monday’s (10.11.25) episode of WWE Raw on Netflix, the star had his final match in Boston just weeks before his retirement bout takes place at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old actor – who grew up nearby in West Newbury, defeated Dominik Mysterio, 28, to win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his 23-year career.<\/p>\n
Alongside a clip of him celebrating, he wrote on X: “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.<\/p>\n
“Our performances are only meaningful if YOU the audience invest in us and decide they are.<\/p>\n
\n“The smile on my face and awe in my eyes in this small clip is an honest show of grateful disbelief and appreciation for all you\u2019ve ever invested in me.<\/p>\n
\n“Last night meant more than I can ever express. Thank you Boston.”<\/p>\n
\nCena became a legend in professional wrestling before making the jump to Hollywood, and this year he has embarked on a farewell tour before his career comes to an end.<\/p>\n
\nIn July, a press release announcing a new deal between WWE and Peacock, NBC Sports confirmed: “Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event on Dec. 13 will feature John Cena in his retirement match.”<\/p>\n
\nCena’s final opponent is currently unknown, with a 16-man tournament being held on WWE programming to determine his last rival.<\/p>\n
\nHe previously admitted his age is one of the reasons he’ll be retiring in four month’s time.<\/p>\n
\nHe told PEOPLE magazine: “Age plays a factor. I’m not as strong or as fast as I used to be.<\/p>\n
\n“I made a promise when I started gaining some notoriety that when I’m a step slower, I will go, because there will be kids just as hungry as I was who have earned a shot to see if they can make it.”<\/p>\n
