Seth Rollins Confirms He’ll Attend John Cena’s Final Match
Seth Rollins has confirmed he will be in attendance for John Cena’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C.
The former World Heavyweight Champion revealed his plans during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show while discussing his travel itinerary for upcoming NFL games.
"We’re going to stop through Chicago for the Cleveland game, just because we have a nice little route back from D.C. after John Cena’s last match,” Rollins said, casually confirming his attendance at one of the most anticipated events in recent WWE history.
Rollins has been sidelined since WWE Crown Jewel: Perth in October, where he suffered a shoulder injury during his Crown Jewel Championship victory over Cody Rhodes. The injury, believed to be rotator cuff-related, occurred when Rollins performed a coast-to-coast diving headbutt during the match. He subsequently underwent surgery and was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship.
On the same Rich Eisen Show appearance, Rollins provided a positive update on his recovery, revealing he recently had his brace removed.
"We’re on track. I got the brace off like last week, middle of last week. It’s nice to walk around like a regular person,” Rollins said.
Rollins was written off WWE television following a brutal attack by his own faction, The Vision, on the October 13 episode of Raw. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turned on their leader, with Paul Heyman orchestrating the betrayal. CM Punk went on to capture the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.
The timing of Rollins’ confirmed attendance comes amid speculation about his potential involvement in ongoing storylines. At Survivor Series: WarGames, a masked figure used Rollins’ signature Stomp to help the heel team defeat CM Punk’s squad, leading many fans to speculate about whether The Visionary had secretly returned.
Cena’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event will cap off his legendary 26-year wrestling career. His opponent will be determined by the ongoing “Last Time Is Now” tournament, with Gunther and LA Knight among the remaining contenders. The event takes place at Capital One Arena and will air on .
Rollins and Cena have shared the ring numerous times throughout their careers, with Rollins infamously cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania 31 to defeat both Cena and Brock Lesnar in a triple threat match.
