Cena, who announced his retirement tour earlier this year at the “Money in the Bank 2024” event, has vowed to step away from in-ring action permanently. He stated, “WrestleMania 41” would serve as the final chapter of his illustrious career, where he notably defeated Cody Rhodes to claim the Undisputed WWE Championship.
