WWE Royal Rumble 2025: John Cena's Final Quest Faces Drew Mcintyre's Bold Challenge

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Wrestling icon and Hollywood star John Cena has announced a farewell tour set to run throughout 2025. The WWE legend, who has entertained fans for over two decades, is expected to make his final in-ring appearances as part of this farewell campaign. One of the major highlights of his tour will be his participation in the 2025 WWE Men's Royal Rumble Match, marking his last appearance in the iconic multi-man contest.

Drew McIntyre's challenge

Ahead of the Royal Rumble 2025 , WWE star Drew McIntyre has issued a bold statement, promising to put an end to Cena's farewell quest. McIntyre made it clear that he intends to eliminate Cena from the match and ensure that he does not secure his 17th world title.

“I'm the king now”

McIntyre, who has been portraying a more outspoken and aggressive persona, expressed confidence in his ability to take down the 16-time world champion, speaking with BBC Scotland.

“On the microphone, he has historically been king, and if you check the awards I've won in the past year, when it comes to the microphone, I'm the king now,” McIntyre declared.

“I want to go toe to toe with him like I did CM Punk, and I crushed Punk, and then I'll get him in the ring. I'll shake his hand and say thanks for all he's done, but get out – this is my world now, go entertain us in Hollywood.”

A new era in WWE storytelling

McIntyre also spoke about his character's evolution, emphasising the importance of adding depth to WWE storylines.
