“You Can’t See Me… One Last Time”: WWE Quietly Films an Emotional John Cena Retirement Documentary
WWE isn’t done telling John Cena’s story just yet—and if early reports are true, fans are about to relive every emotional moment of his final run.
It’s been just over a week since John Cena wrestled the final match of his legendary WWE career, but the conversation around his farewell is far from over. Behind the scenes, WWE is already putting the finishing touches on what could become one of its most heartfelt projects ever: a full documentary chronicling Cena’s retirement tour.
John Cena’s Final Bow Was Bigger Than a Win or Loss
On December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, DC, the leader of the Cenation stepped into the ring for the last time. Across from him stood Gunther—WWE’s unstoppable force and the future face of the company. The result was symbolic: Gunther defeated the 17-time world champion, officially closing the chapter on Cena’s in-ring career.
While many fans were left emotional—and even disappointed—by the outcome, WWE officials see it differently. Triple H and company have made it clear that Gunther is a cornerstone of WWE’s future, and Cena’s final match was designed to pass the torch rather than protect a legacy that was already cemented.
Cena Is Officially Done Wrestling—and He’s at Peace With It
Unlike other legends who eventually felt the pull to return, John Cena has drawn a firm line. He has already signed a new deal with WWE as an ambassador, but his wrestling days are over. No surprise comebacks. No “one more match.” Just closure.
And by all accounts, Cena is perfectly at peace with that decision.
WWE Planning a Must-Watch Cena Documentary
According to WrestleVotes Radio and Fightful Select, WWE is currently working on a documentary centered entirely around Cena’s farewell tour. The project is expected to drop on Peacock sometime in mid-2026 and will reportedly take fans behind the curtain of Cena’s final year—both in and out of the ring.
If WWE’s recent documentaries are any indication, expect raw emotions, backstage footage, and a deeper look at the man who carried the company for nearly two decades.
Cena Opens Up About His Final Night
Speaking on Cody Rhodes’ podcast, Cena shared a powerful memory from his last entrance—one that perfectly sums up the magnitude of the moment:
“They had to move the side ramps in to put more seats. It almost was like a fire hazard to go down the ramp. You cannot fit anymore people in there… I was so filled with joy. You can’t fit anymore people in there.”
For Cena, that overwhelming crowd wasn’t just noise—it was validation. A reminder that his sacrifices, hustle, and loyalty mattered.
The End of an Era, Preserved Forever
John Cena’s retirement didn’t just mark the end of a career—it marked the end of an era in WWE history. And now, with a documentary on the way, fans will soon get to experience that farewell all over again, this time with tears, goosebumps, and a deeper appreciation for a legend who truly gave everything.
One last time… you will see him.
