What exactly did John Cena say about his very last Royal Rumble match?

Cena is among the few men who have won the Royal Rumble match twice. The WWE veteran won the annual free-for-all in 2008 and 2013.

Here's what he said about his final Royal Rumble match:

"Those are strong words. The last time is now, and in 2025, there will be a myriad of history-making events. The last time I will ever compete in a Royal Rumble event is February 1st, Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. And you want to make sure you are there. It is my last Royal Rumble as the road to WrestleMania kicks off. February 1st at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Act fast as tickets are on sale this Friday, the last time is now, and you should hurry up because after this, you can't see me," John Cena said.

Judging by the response to Cena's announcement, it's clear as day that fans can't wait to see him come out during the Royal Rumble match. It remains to be seen if he has it in him to win his third Royal Rumble match.
