John Cena is just a few months away from his retirement, and emotions have already started running high among millions around the world. The 17-time WWE Champion marked a historic heel turn back at Elimination Chamber to kick off his retirement tour and ended up winning the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41.

While his heel turn didn’t work for long, he managed to make headlines in iconic feuds against the likes of CM Punk and Randy Orton, putting him at the top of the roster once again. However, with the essence of his heel turn fading away, WWE immediately turned him back into a babyface at SummerSlam, where he lost the title.

While fans loved his face turn, he now has some big threats coming after him. After he lost his title at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar made an incredible return to deliver a thunderous F-5 to the star, taking him down in a moment. Further, before Lesnar’s rivalry with Cena could kick off, Logan Paul entered the picture and is now set to face Cena at Clash in Paris.

"There’s one more thing you can do before the end of the year, either in John Cena’s last match or maybe John Cena’s second-to-last match, however you want to do it. Drew McIntyre beats John Cena. So, he’s not the champion anymore, but he beats John Cena with a Claymore. Just beats him," said Sam Roberts. (H/T - TJRWrestling)
