The big story coming out of Money In The Bank was John Cena announcing his intention to retire from the ring. Wearing a t-shirt with the words “The Last Time is Now,” Cena revealed that 2025 would be his final year as a professional wrestler, although he would note during the post-show press conference he wouldn’t be distancing himself from the business.
And now, ahead of his final Royal Rumble match participation in February, BetOnline has declared the 2008 and 2013 winner the betting favorite at 15/4 (+375). However, not far behind him are CM Punk and The Rock, with the notable outsiders being Brock Lesnar at 33/1, Goldberg at 40/1, and Jake Paul at 200/1.
47-year-old Cena broke into the wrestling industry in 1998 and signed for WWE the following year after a couple of tryout matches in 2000. Subsequently, he would make a memorable SmackDown debut by confronting Kurt Angle. Still, his long-term future with the company would become uncertain after he failed to connect with fans in the ensuing months. Yet despite this, after demonstrating his legitimate rap skills, he adopted the “Doctor of Thuganomics” gimmick, and his career skyrocketed.
