— Future WWE Hall of Famer John Cena made his return to TV this past Monday as part of Raw’s debut on Netflix and with it, he kicked off his 2025 farewell retirement tour. Cena made a noteworthy announcement during the evening by officially declaring himself for the men’s Royal Rumble match in February, which sets him on a path or a chase for that historic 17th world title.
— On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio Backstage Pass, it was stated that WWE officials took note of Cena’s prom on Raw and how the audience reacted (positively) to a potential Cena Rumble win. Not only did the fans give Cena the reaction he was looking for as he chases the history, but the report added that the reaction solidified the fact that Cena is at worst a top-two choice currently to win the Rumble match. It also helped his cause that Cena was reportedly one of the “leaders in the clubhouse” prior to the Raw on Netflix premiere.
