24 years after his WWE debut, The Prototype is hanging up his tights.

John Cena announced that his final WWE match, a Saturday Night Main Event, will take place at Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena on Saturday, Dec. 13.

As of now, no opponent for the 48-year-old wrestler/actor has been revealed yet. Prognosticators speculate that Gunther, whom he’s never faced before, may join him in the ring.

“Despite any speculation or rumors, on July 6, 2024 I announced I would retire from WWE in ring participation. I am far from perfect but strive to be a person whose word has value,” Cena shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “12/13/25 will be my final match. I am beyond grateful for every moment WWE has given me. I am excited for 12/13 & look forward to seeing all of you one last time.”

If you’d like to be there for the historic showdown in the Nation’s Capital, tickets are now officially available.

John Cena upcoming film projects

As Cena winds down his time in the ring, he’s spending more time than ever on set. On top of his work in “Peacemaker,” here are all the films coming from him this year and next:

“Coyote vs. Acme” is a long-awaited hybrid of live-action and animation from Warner Bros. bringing comedy ringers like Cena, Will Forte, P.J. Byrne, Luis Guzmán and Martha Kelly together with the Looney Tunes, particularly Wile E. Coyote who sues Acme since every product he’s ever used of theirs while chasing Road Runner has failed spectacularly. Courtroom cartoons? Sign us up.

“Matchbox” stars Cena as “a former soldier who reunites with childhood friends after a successful mission, only to be kidnapped and framed,” according to The Prague Reporter. Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Arturo Castro, Teyonah Parris and Corey Stoll round out the star-studded cast.

“Little Brother” pits Cena against anarchic comic Eric André in a story about a realtor whose orderly life is upended by his eccentric younger brother. Other big names joining the pair in the Netflix film include Michelle Monaghan, Christopher Meloni, Ego Nwodim, and Sherry Cola.

A hit-and-run driver slammed into an outdoor birthday party in suburban Washington, D.C., killing a woman and injuring eight kids on Saturday evening, police said.

Thirteen people were hurt in the the crash in Bladensburg, Maryland, according to statements from the city’s police department and the Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department.

The children ranged in age from 1 to 17 years old, Bladensburg Police said in a statement.

Video and photos of the scene posted on social media showed a sedan inside a white tent on a lawn outside a home.

The driver, who got out of the vehicle and ran away, later turned himself into police. The 66-year-old man has been interviewed by investigators who are consulting with prosecutors about what criminal charges to file.

The woman killed was identified as Ashley Hernandez Gutierrez, 31, of Washington. At least three adults and one child remained in the hospital Sunday, police said.

Police initially said nine children were injured and their ages ranged from 2 to 9 years old.

In Washington D.C., Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Chris Murphy of Connecticut spoke. Bill Nye, the beloved children’s show host, also gave a speech slamming Trump and his cabinet for failing to accept “basic scientific facts.”

“They do not promote the progress of science. They suppress it, to the detriment of our health, well being, and international competitiveness,” he said. “It is a formula for failure.”

Fired U.S. Agency for International Development workers also joined the No Kings rally at the capital, including Amanda Nature.

Nature, 41, of Washington told NBC News: “The common adage is that 50% of the country voted for this. But 50% of the country didn’t vote for a government shutdown and the dismantlement of the government and services that people rely on.”

In Santa Monica, California, former second gentleman Doug Emhoff shared a photo of himself with his son Cole at the No Kings protest.

In Chicago — where high-profile clashes between residents and federal immigration authorities have unfolded in recent weeks — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker shared a defiant speech.

He called out Trump and Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller for “coming for the immigrants, and for Black and brown people, and for LGBTQ people and for their political opponents.”

“History will judge us by where we choose to stand right now, today. Future generations will ask: ‘What did we do when fellow human beings faced persecution? When our rights were being abridged? When our Constitution was under attack?’” Pritzker asked. “They’ll want to know whether we stood up or we stayed silent.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren addressed thousands at the Boston Common, saying: “Standing up to a wannabe dictator? That is patriotism. Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy? That is patriotism!”

Overall, the protests have been peaceful, though some leaders, including in Texas, have said they would mobilize the National Guard to monitor for potential unrest.
