WWE icon John Cena kicked off his farewell tour with a surprise appearance on the Netflix premiere of "Raw," electrifying the Los Angeles crowd. He made a grand entrance, complete with his signature music, and expressed gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support. Cena then dropped a bombshell: he'll be the first entrant in the 2025 Royal Rumble, scheduled for February 1st at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Not only does Cena intend to compete, but he boldly declared his intention to win the entire event. While acknowledging that winning a 17th WWE Championship (a record-breaking feat) might be as likely as winning an Academy Award, he remains undeterred. A Royal Rumble victory would secure him a world championship match at WrestleMania 41, offering a path to cement his legacy.

Cena's determination to end his career on a high note is evident. Though the exact number of events he'll participate in remains undisclosed, his recent appearances suggest a busy schedule ahead. This 47-year-old, 16-time WWE champion is a future Hall of Famer, and he's not going quietly.

Cena's appearance was just one highlight of a star-studded "Raw" premiere. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson opened the show, Roman Reigns solidified his status as the sole "Tribal Chief," and Cody Rhodes made a dramatic entrance. The Undertaker and Triple H also contributed to the electrifying atmosphere, making it a night to remember for wrestling fans worldwide.

This new era of WWE on Netflix began with a bang, and Cena's declaration of his Royal Rumble aspirations adds another layer of excitement to the upcoming year in professional wrestling.
