Recalling John Cena's bombshell announcement at Money in the Bank 2024 before his upcoming tag team extravaganza at the 2025 mega-event

John Cena is one of the biggest names in the world of wrestling and now, even in Hollywood. The record-breaking superstar is currently on his WWE Farewell Tour, ready to take a step back from the ring and focus more on his acting commitments.

He will next be seen at the 2025 Money in the Bank PPE, which will be held tonight, June 7, at the Inuit Dome in California for a thrilling tag team match.

But before that, let's take a look back at the same event from last year when John Cena made an announcement that shook the fans completely.

John Cena's retirement announcement happened a year ago at Money in the Bank 2024

It was a star-filled night at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on July 6, 2024. Trish Stratus hosted the explosive event where stars from the Stamford-based promotion came together to deliver some powerful performances. RAW's Drew McIntyre and SmackDown's Tiffany Stratton won the men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches. And in between all the nerve-wracking moments, John Cena made a special appearance to announce that he would be retiring from wrestling. He said:"Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from WWE... Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to play in a house that you guys built for so many years. Thank you so much for your voice because it's really loud and for your honesty because it's always brutal."

He announced that 2025 would be his last year as an in-ring performer, but also said that didn't mean he was leaving WWE for good, as it would always be a part of his life and legacy.

The 17-time WWE Champion was seen entering the ring with a towel in hand that read a modified version of his renowned catchphrase, "My Time Is Now." It became "The Last Time Is Now," the phrase he has been using all throughout his Farewell Tour as of now.

John Cena is coming to Money in the Bank 2025 for a fiery tag team match

John Cena will team up with Logan Paul for yet another explosive match, this time a tag-team one, to face none other than Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. He had lost to Uso earlier this year at the WWE Royal Rumble, becoming the last person to be eliminated out of the ring, making Jey Uso the champion.

He then won the Men's Elimination Chamber match which led him to face Cody Rhodes at the 2025 WrestleMania.

He turned heel, won the match, and took the Undisputed title from his opponent. And since then, it's been a brand new John Cena that fans have been witnessing. He was last present at the last Saturday Night Main Event show, where he attacked Uso during his match against Paul. Rhodes made his comeback as well, and now fans cannot wait to see what they have in store for Money in the Bank.Also Read: WWE Money in the Bank 2025: Date, match card, streaming details, and what to expect
