When The GOAT announced his farewell tour, many were anticipating that he'd be regularly available for TV shows, PLEs, and live events. However, Cena confirmed at the start of the year that he'll only have 36 appearances.

Following his appearance last Friday on SmackDown in Dublin, Ireland, Cena now has 10 dates left in his farewell tour. Speaking on WWE France's official Instagram page, The Cenation Leader announced that he'll be in Lyon for Friday's edition of the blue brand.

John Cena also praised Lyon for supposedly having the best crowd in WWE history, which was the same sentiment he had during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon two weeks ago.

In addition to his appearance in Lyon this Friday, John Cena is scheduled to face Logan Paul at Clash in Paris. That means Cena will only have eight dates left from September to December. His final match has been announced to be at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13 in Boston.


Confirmed dates for John Cena's final four months

As mentioned above, John Cena will only have eight appearances left in his schedule following Clash in Paris. Out of those eight dates, six have been officially confirmed.

  • October 11: Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia
  • November 29: Survivor Series in San Diego, California

Two more dates are likely to be announced, possibly one in October and one in November. It will also be interesting to see if WWE or Cena decides to add more dates to the 36 total that were initially announced.
