John Cena to win the Tag Team Titles with his ex-rival 12 years after their last match? Potential storyline explored

John Cena's legendary pro wrestling career is in its final stage as he will embark on his WWE retirement tour in 2025. The Cenation Leader will make his highly anticipated return to RAW on its premiere on Netflix. The 47-year-old could win the Tag Team Title on his last run with his former rival 12 years after their last match in a WWE ring.

The speculation of CM Punk and Cena pairing up in 2025 arose due to the former's recent actions at WWE's Supershow at Madison Square Garden. During his singles match with Ludwig Kaiser, The Second City Saint paid tribute to John Cena by using the latter's signature 'Five Moves of Doom' against Kaiser.

This subtle tease ahead of The Franchise Player's WWE return has fueled speculation that the company might be setting the stage for a future program involving the two. There is a possibility that Cena and Punk could join forces as a tag team by mid-2025, potentially after WrestleMania 41. With their combined star power and credibility, the duo might even secure the tag team titles.

If it happens, it could mark a historic run for the two future Hall of Famers as a tag team. CM Punk and John Cena share a storied history in WWE, most notably due to their career-defining 'Summer of Punk' feud in 2011. Seeing these two icons share a WWE ring once again in 2025 will be a nostalgic ride for the WWE Universe and why wouldn't it?

The last time The Cenation Leader faced The Best in the World in a WWE ring was on the February 25, 2013, episode of RAW in Dallas, Texas. Will they ever cross paths again? It seems inevitable.

John Cena to face CM Punk in his final WWE match?

Ever since the announcement of John Cena's retirement tour, there has been constant speculation about who his last opponent could be. Given the rich history between him and CM Punk, a large portion of fans want to see Punk as the final opponent in Cena's farewell match.

Both superstars share incredible in-ring chemistry and their rivalry arc, which spanned from 2011 to 2013 produced several classic matches that remain highlights of their careers. This feud is often regarded as a pivotal moment that elevated Punk's stature in WWE. Therefore, The Second City Saint retiring his former rival could be one of the most iconic moments of his career.

While the potential of the feud is great, the chances of CM Punk being the 16-time World Champion's last opponent are comparatively low. The WWE Universe has been long clamoring to see another significant rivalry between John Cena and Randy Orton. Given the magnitude of this bout, the company might book this much-awaited clash for Cena's retirement match.

Regardless of who faces The Cenation Leader as his last opponent, 2025 will be a roller coaster ride of emotions for the fans. With John Cena wrapping up his legendary career, a part of our childhood will end.
