WWE 2K25: How to Get New R-Truth Persona ‘Ron Cena’

When WWE 2K25 dropped its latest tease on social media, fans thought they were seeing double — and technically, they were. The official WWE Games X account set the internet ablaze this week with a video captioned: ‘Step in the ring? You must be insane. Ron Cena’s here, he’s ending your name.’ The clip showed a packed arena and a larger-than-life entrance that had fans both laughing and double-taking.

The first teaser came when WWE Games posted: ‘This hits harder than your alarm on Monday morning. 10/16 #WWE2K25’ — a cryptic post that set the stage for what followed.

Together, the posts confirmed what fans suspected: the WWE 2K25 team is leaning into the long-running inside joke where R-Truth often plays a character obsessed with and trying to emulate John Cena. Over the years, he’s jokingly referred to himself as “Ron Cena,” pretending to be Cena’s brother, best friend, or even his in-ring equal — a persona that’s become a fan-favorite part of his comedic legacy.

What We Know About the Farewell Tour DLC

According to reports and circulating teasers from WWE Games on X , the upcoming John Cena Farewell Tour DLC is scheduled to release October 16, 2025, and will feature a mix of nostalgia, humor, and celebration. Leaks suggest the pack will include:

• John Cena (WrestleMania 41 Attire)
• John Cena ’04 (Dr. of Thuganomics)
• Brock Lesnar (Farewell Tour Variant)
• Ron Cena (R-Truth Persona)
• Five Cena-themed outfits and accessories

If accurate, it’s a clever way for WWE Games to blend humor with tribute — giving Cena his swan song while keeping R-Truth’s playful alter ego canon within the game.

How to Get Ron Cena

Ron Cena will be tied to the John Cena Farewell Tour DLC (i.e. you’ll need to own the DLC to get access). Based on past pack details and early leaks, owning this downloadable content will grant players access to R-Truth’s alternate persona inspired by his long-running Cena impersonation.

While WWE Games has not clarified whether Ron Cena will appear automatically in the roster or as part of a MyFACTION Persona Card unlock, all indications from official teasers and community previews suggest he’s bundled directly within the DLC.

Once the pack is available, players who purchase and install the John Cena Farewell Tour DLC should gain access to Ron Cena and his associated MyFACTION content. This structure follows the same format used for previous DLC superstars in WWE 2K titles, where new content becomes playable after installation.

The crossover fits perfectly with WWE 2K25’s trend of mixing fan-favorite gags with official canon. By officially introducing R-Truth’s hilarious “Ron Cena” persona, 2K continues to blur the line between parody and homage — giving players another reason to revisit the ring when the Farewell Tour DLC drops.

Why It Matters

John Cena’s Farewell Tour in WWE 2K25 represents the final chapter for one of wrestling’s biggest icons. Pairing that with R-Truth’s “Ron Cena” persona turns what could’ve been a straightforward tribute into something memorable and entertaining — a rare blend of sincerity and satire that celebrates both legends in their own way.

WWE 2K25’s John Cena Farewell Tour DLC launches October 16, bringing Ron Cena to the ring for what might be the funniest (and most fitting) send-off in WWE 2K history.
