Cody Rhodes reclaimed the undisputed WWE championship, Brock Lesnar squashed John Cena and Seth Rollins claimed another world championship at the expense of longtime rival CM Punk. While WrestleMania is often a spiritual season finale, SummerSlam presented a clearer direction for the coming months.

No wrestling fan is ever without intriguing topics of conversation, but one thing that’s consistently dominated sports entertainment chatter in 2025 has been John Cena’s farewell tour. After making his WWE debut way back in June 2002 with a lot of “ruthless aggression,” this is now his last year as a competitor.

Earlier, CM Punk revealed that he is glad he found another opportunity to work with Cena before the latter exits the WWE arena. In an interview with ENews, Punk described his camaraderie with John Cena as a "marriage that unfolded on screen that we both needed at the time."
