John Cena Pays Tribute to Eddie Guerrero with Clever Trick Against Dominik Mysterio in WWE Farewell Match

November 12, 2025 | Entertainment

John Cena’s Farewell Tour Brings a Touch of Eddie Guerrero Magic In a night packed with nostalgia and emotion, WWE fans witnessed an unforgettable moment as John Cena paid tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero during his farewell tour stop in Boston. The 16-time world champion faced off against Dominik Mysterio in a bout that quickly turned into one of the most talked-about moments of the year. As the match neared its climax, Cena cleverly used one of Guerrero’s most iconic tactics—the “lie, cheat, and steal” trick. With the referee momentarily distracted, Cena tossed a steel chair into Dominik’s hands and dramatically fell to the mat, pretending to be hit. When the referee turned around, the sight of Dominik holding the chair led to a swift disqualification, granting Cena the victory. The Boston crowd erupted in laughter and cheers, recognizing the nod to Guerrero’s legendary antics. Fans took to social media instantly, praising Cena’s creativity and emotional homage to one of wrestling’s all-time greats. A Full-Circle Moment For Cena, who has long been open about his respect for Guerrero and his deep connection with the Mysterio family, the moment was more than just showmanship. It represented a full-circle tribute—honoring the past while passing the torch to the next generation. Dominik Mysterio, now one of WWE’s most polarizing figures, played his role to perfection, continuing his evolution as a top-tier heel in the company. The storytelling between the two generations made this match a standout in Cena’s ongoing farewell tour. Fans React: “Vintage Cena Meets Classic Eddie” Social media platforms were flooded with clips and reactions, with fans calling it “vintage Cena meets classic Eddie.” Many praised WWE for allowing such a heartfelt moment of wrestling nostalgia, blending humor, emotion, and respect into one memorable segment. As Cena’s farewell tour continues, moments like these remind fans why he remains one of the most beloved figures in WWE history—not just for his achievements, but for his ability to entertain and pay tribute to the legends who shaped the sport.

From U.S. Arenas to Riyadh: WWE’s Bold Business Moves in 2025

November 8, 2025 | Entertainment

WWE is rewriting the playbook for global sports entertainment. In 2025, the company has adopted a bold strategy that combines ticket scarcity in the U.S. with a dramatic push into international markets, most notably Saudi Arabia. Creating Demand Through Ticket Scarcity WWE President Nick Khan has revealed that the company is intentionally limiting non-televised live events in the U.S. This move creates ticket scarcity, driving higher demand and allowing WWE to elevate ticket prices for marquee shows. “We’re focusing on experiences that are rare, exciting, and unmissable,” Khan said. By limiting smaller local events, WWE is making its televised pay-per-view events and international shows feel like premium must-attend experiences, enhancing both revenue and fan engagement. Saudi Arabia and Global Expansion The company’s global strategy is equally ambitious. Saudi Arabia is set to host Royal Rumble 2026 in Riyadh, the first time this iconic event will take place outside North America. WWE’s international calendar also includes tours across Europe and Asia, targeting emerging fanbases and strengthening partnerships with global entertainment authorities. This international push achieves multiple goals: Revenue Growth: Large-scale global events generate higher ticket sales, broadcasting rights, and merchandise revenue. Brand Expansion: WWE is building a truly international fanbase. Spectacle and Prestige: Hosting major events abroad increases the company’s visibility and prestige. Balancing Scarcity and Access While ticket scarcity enhances demand, it also raises questions about accessibility for average fans. Limited U.S. shows push more viewers toward pay-per-view subscriptions and digital platforms, aligning with WWE’s goal of monetizing content beyond live attendance. The Future of WWE WWE’s combination of strategic scarcity and international expansion is a clear statement: the company aims to be a premium global entertainment brand. By making each event feel exclusive and simultaneously reaching fans worldwide, WWE is setting the stage for a decade of growth, spectacle, and unforgettable experiences. “We’re not just putting on shows; we’re creating moments that fans will remember for a lifetime,” Khan said, underscoring WWE’s commitment to bold, innovative business moves.

John Cena’s Final Chapter: WWE Announces Tournament to Decide His Farewell Opponent

November 8, 2025 | Entertainment

The countdown to the end of an era has officially begun. WWE has confirmed a 16-man tournament that will determine who gets the once-in-a-lifetime honor—or challenge—of facing John Cena in his final WWE match this December. A Farewell Fit for a Legend After more than two decades of hustle, loyalty, and respect, John Cena is preparing to close the curtain on his in-ring career. The 16-time World Champion announced earlier this year that his final match will take place on December 13, 2025, at a yet-to-be-revealed premium live event rumored to set attendance records. But in classic WWE fashion, his final opponent won’t be chosen by management — it’ll be earned. The company has revealed plans for a high-stakes elimination tournament that will bring together the best of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. The brackets are being kept strictly confidential, fueling speculation and excitement across the WWE Universe. Who Could Step Into the Ring? While the official lineup hasn’t been disclosed, fan theories are running wild. Names like Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and even Logan Paul have been floated online. Others believe WWE could pull a surprise by giving the spot to an emerging talent from NXT—someone who could represent the “future vs. foundation” story Cena has always embodied. Industry insiders suggest that Cena himself has had input on the concept, emphasizing his wish to “pass the torch” in his final match—a move reminiscent of how legends like The Rock and Kurt Angle once did before him. A Career Defined by Connection Few careers have left an impact like Cena’s. From his debut in 2002’s “Ruthless Aggression” era to becoming the face of WWE for more than a decade, Cena has transcended wrestling into global stardom. He’s headlined WrestleMania, carried the company through its most transitional years, and inspired an entire generation of fans and wrestlers alike. Even as his Hollywood career flourished, Cena’s relationship with WWE fans remained unbroken—making this farewell a true emotional event for the entire wrestling community. The Road to December 13 According to internal reports, the tournament will unfold over multiple weeks of WWE programming, culminating in a blockbuster showdown. WWE is expected to reveal the tournament brackets on an upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw. With stakes this high, the matches are likely to feature dramatic storytelling, emotional callbacks, and perhaps even surprise returns from some of Cena’s most famous rivals. “One Last Hustle” Whether you cheer or boo him, there’s no denying John Cena’s legacy. His final match isn’t just about who wins or loses—it’s about celebrating a man who defined an era and inspired millions to never give up. As the WWE Universe braces for his last bow, one thing is certain: When the final bell rings on December 13, the world will once again be chanting, “Thank you, Cena.”
