Will Vince McMahon make his WWE return for John Cena's final match?

A new rumor popped up over the weekend which pertains to former WWE boss, Vince McMahon. According to both Bryan Alvarez and Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful Select, rumors and speculation have suggested that McMahon and Trump could be on hand for Cena's final match.

Cena's opponent for his final match has not been announced yet. This weekend at Saturday Night's Main Event, Cena announced that a 16-person tournament would take place, and the winner of that tournament would face Cena in his final match. Cena confirmed that talent in the tournament would come from Raw, Smackdown, NXT, and possibly individuals who don't currently work for WWE.

Vince McMahon hasn't appeared in a WWE setting since he resigned from his post as Executive Chairman of TKO Group in January of 2024. Prior to that, he appeared on an episode of Smackdown in 2022.

McMahon retired from WWE in 2022 after a WWE Board of Directors investigation found milions of dollars of undocumented hush money payments made to various women from McMahon.

McMahon returned to the company in 2023 to facilitate the sale of his company to Endeavor. Endeavor merged WWE with UFC to create TKO Group, and McMahon was made Executive Chairman of that new company until his resignation in 2024 due to the Janel Grant lawsuit.
