John Cena's wrestling career finished in December 2025, when he faced defeat against Gunther. However, news throws light on the 17-time World Champion's future with the company in the coming months.
After his in-ring retirement at Saturday Night's Main Event in December 2025, many believed John Cena to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the coming months ahead of WrestleMania 42 in Nevada. Unfortunately, the fans may have to wait over a year for it.
As per WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, the Men's Grand Slam Champion is not expected to be on the upcoming Hall of Fame list, as Stephanie McMahon is set to headline the event in Las Vegas just before WrestleMania 42. Moreover, the company plans to induct another immortal WWE moment this year.
It's bad news for fans, as many wished to enter the prestigious list after a flop at the end of his legendary career in Washington.
Nikki Bella spills the beans on interaction with John Cena
John Cena and Nikki Bella were an actual real-life couple for several years in the Stamford-based promotion full-time as active wrestlers. The Cenation Leader went down on one knee at WrestleMania 33 and proposed to Nikki Bella in front of the entire crowd.
Unfortunately, their relationship ended before they could tie the knot. In an appearance on ImPaulsive, Bella was questioned about meeting Cena years after they parted ways during his retirement tour in 2025.
The former Divas Champion disclosed that things were cool between the two, and she got to meet his wife as well. Nikki recently united with Brie at WWE Royal Rumble 2026 in Saudi Arabia, and the two vowed to fight for the tag team titles on the red brand.
