On Monday, WWE confirmed that John Cena will make three appearances on Raw as part of the company’s touted European tour. The 16-time World Champion will return to Belgium for a Raw taping on March 17 at Forest National. A week later, he’ll stop by Scotland’s OVO Hydro, only to cap off the three-week stretch at London’s O2 Arena.
Does that conclude Cena’s entire WWE scheduling for March? It seems so as per the current listing. Apart from a trifecta of dates on Monday Night Raw, the 47-year-old is due to compete at the Elimination Chamber too on March 1. That’ll surge John’s total WWE commitments to four for the upcoming month.
Taking to X, The Cenation Leader penned an emotional note. John claimed that his farewell tour began last year in Toronto itself on the night he dropped the bombshell at Money in the Bank. He’s also looking forward to seeing off his fans in Belgium, a country he hasn’t visited for a WWE show in over a decade.

Moreover, John hailed Scotland for being one of the loudest wrestling markets on tour. The Peacemaker actor is hellbent on making each of these nights overseas quite memorable. Back to business, he’s slated for a daunting task inside the Elimination Chamber a week from Saturday.
For the first time since 2018, The Franchise Player will find himself within the confines of that 16 ft tall structure that weighs just about 15 tons. He’ll face stern resistance from fellow combatants like CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, and Logan Paul. To realize his WrestleMania dreams, Cena must go for broke, or it’ll be over in a hurry.
There’s been heavy chatter encircling John Cena‘s potential record-breaking 17th world title reign. Although the WWE Universe would love to see it happen, the prospect is actually a long shot from happening.
At the bare minimum, Cena needs to get back to winning ways first. He hasn’t scored a singles victory in over 7 years, which in itself is a baffling stat. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently presented his only scenario where he’d put the belt on John for a seventeen time.
On the Busted Open Radio, Ray said he would do a ladder match between Cena and his career-long rival Randy Orton, given that The Viper was also a 16-time world champion already. The said ladder match would’ve then crowned one between Cena and Orton to break the all-time WWE record.
