Fresh off his historic 17th World Championship victory at WrestleMania 41, John Cena is already eyeing his next challenge in WWE — and the road ahead looks eventful.
On Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, Cena was blindsided by Randy Orton, in what appears to be the setup for a WWE Undisputed Championship match at Backlash on May 10th. This sudden attack by “The Viper” reignites a legendary rivalry between the two multi-time champions and adds intrigue to Cena’s newly extended run at the top.
In addition to Backlash, WWE has released the official Money in the Bank 2025 event poster for July 7th, which prominently features Cena — confirming his appearance at the highly anticipated Premium Live Event. You can view the poster below:
WWE also formally announced its return to Perth, Western Australia, for a three-night takeover event this October, including SmackDown, Raw, and a Premium Live Event — with Cena advertised as a major draw for the tour.
