John Cena made his presence felt at his scheduled appearance at RAW's Netflix premiere. The Leader of the Cenation came out to a huge pop from the fans attending the Intuit Dome and made a major WWE announcement.

The 47-year-old, who will soon kick off his "retirement tour," announced his intention to enter the Royal Rumble 2025. The announcement came after the fans called for Cena to attempt to become a record-breaking 17-time WWE Champion.

John Cena began by duping the fans, claiming it was never going to happen. However, he acknowledged that he needed a miracle that could only come from winning the Money in the Bank or surviving the Elimination Chamber.

However, amid his thought process, Cena had an epiphany. After some quick calculations, he got his answer. He realized he could have his "miracle" by entering and winning the Royal Rumble match.

So, it has been confirmed that Cena will be entering the Royal Rumble. Whether he can actually win it remains to be seen. After all, he needs to outlast 29 other men for that to happen, but to his credit, he has done it before.
