UPDATE: As WWE prepares for the retirement of John Cena, an urgent tournament has been launched to determine his final opponent. The stakes are high as the matches begin tonight on WWE Raw, with two first-round bouts already confirmed: Sheamus vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Damian Priest vs. Rusev. The winners will advance to the next round, heightening the excitement for fans.
This tournament, dubbed “The Last Time is Now Tournament,” will culminate at the “Saturday Night’s Main Event” on December 13, 2023. With 12 competitors still to face off, anticipation is building across the WWE Universe.
Former WWE champion Maven Huffman has weighed in on who he believes should be Cena’s final opponent. Speaking on TMZ’s Inside the Ropes, he highlighted rising star Bron Breakker as a top contender. “If you were in the lab making a wrestler, you’d make him,” Maven stated, praising Breakker’s impressive presence and ability to represent WWE.
Breakker, whose real name is Bronson Rechsteiner, is the son of wrestling legends Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner. He has already made a name for himself, holding the WWE Intercontinental Championship twice, along with the NXT Championship and NXT Tag Team Championship. Maven emphasized that WWE needs to push someone who can carry the brand for the next decade, and he believes Breakker fits that mold perfectly.
With early rumors swirling that Cena’s last match could pit him against newer talent like GUNTHER, who has held the World Heavyweight Championship twice, fans are eager to see how the tournament unfolds. The potential for Breakker to face Cena adds an emotional layer, as a victory over the iconic wrestler could propel his career to new heights.
As the competition heats up, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates on upcoming matches and tournament brackets. This is a pivotal moment in WWE history, and the excitement is palpable as Cena’s legacy comes to a close.
In the meantime, WWE is expected to announce additional matchups for both Raw and NXT, further intensifying the stakes. The buzz surrounding Cena’s exit and the new generation of wrestlers is generating significant interest, making it a must-watch event for wrestling fans everywhere.
