When Chris Van Vilet asked the GOAT about his favorite title run with WWE, Cena gave a cheeky response and said, “My next one.” Both broke to laughter immediately and Cena continued to explain his response. He said, “That’d be cool [on breaking the record]. I’ve often said that the time is coming for me to hang it up. I’m not lying when I am saying that but it’s not tomorrow. It’s probably soon, but it’s not tomorrow. You never know.

Well, John Cena is currently tied at 16 World titles with NWA Legend Ric Flair followed by Charlotte Flair and Randy Orton at 14 each. His last world title run came in 2017 when he defeated AJ Styles at Royal Rumble. Since losing that title, he was relegated to mid-card and then a part-time role due to his increasing Hollywood work-load.

Hence, fans don’t know which would be Cena’s last WWE in-ring match as he has often teased his retirement on multiple occasions.

John Cena’s last appearance in WWE was a match against Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel last year, which he lost. However, the match was built as Cena’s last wrestling appearance, at least as depicted by over 10 Samoan spikes delivered by Sikoa to Cena. But Cena indirectly confirms that he will return to the ring once more for another title run.
