WWE Star Missing From John Cena Farewell Video As Fans Demand Answers

Cena takes on Gunther in his last WWE match at Saturday Night's Main Event this weekend.

WWE have posted a farewell video to John Cena featuring a number of main roster stars - but one is noticeably absent.

Cena's last match as a professional wrestler takes place on Saturday, when he faces Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event.

The 48-year-old has been on a 'retirement tour' throughout 2025, taking on the likes of CM Punk, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles and Dominik Mysterio.

He won his record-breaking 17th world title at WrestleMania, while his victory over Mysterio to win the Intercontinental Championship last month - Mysterio has since won it back - meant he became the first wrestler ever to win a career grand slam of titles.

Ahead of his final match, WWE's main roster wrestlers teamed up to produce a farewell video for Cena.

Top stars such as Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch all feature, alongside the majority of his one-on-one opponents from 2025.

But one of Cena's all-time biggest rivals, Randy Orton, is missing.

Orton took on Cena at Backlash for the WWE Undisputed Championship in what was an unsuccessful effort, though their rivalry stretches back to the mid to late-2000s and they have had a series of classic matches.

However, 'The Viper' has been absent from television for two months, with his most recent match being on October 3.

Orton is currently in Saudi Arabia as one of three WWE representatives at the newly-opened 'MrBeast Land', alongside Liv Morgan and Omos.

Of course, he could yet feature on the night of Cena's last match - with fans speculating that his absence from the video is because WWE want to keep a potential appearance under wraps.

According to PWInsider's Mike Johnson, WWE are working on 'some surprises' for the night in Washington D.C. - though the nature of any potential 'surprises' are unknown.

Reports indicate that there is no hard time limit on the show, which normally runs for two hours, with four matches currently planned.

One of Cena's wishes for his final show was to have NXT stars highlighted alongside his own last match.

NXT Champion Oba Femi will take on Cody Rhodes, while former Women's North American Champion Sol Ruca faces Bayley.

And the tag team of Je'Von Evans and Leon Slater - both just 21 years of age - will make their main roster premium live event debuts when they face World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
