In a candid interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, music star Jelly Roll shared his thoughts on WWE legend John Cena’s ongoing retirement tour and speculated about who might be Cena’s final opponent in his illustrious career. With Cena’s retirement tour nearing its conclusion, Jelly Roll believes that Cena’s last match could see him face off against a rising star—Bron Breakker.
“I think Cena’s going to want to go out on his back,” Jelly Roll said, referring to the time-honored tradition of putting over younger talent in a wrestler’s final match. “I don’t know if it tops [his match with AJ Styles], but I think that Cena will go out putting Bron over.” Jelly Roll’s insight aligns with what others in the wrestling community have speculated: Cena, a true professional with deep respect for the business, might choose to elevate a new talent like Breakker in his final WWE appearance.
Breakker, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner, has made waves in NXT with his raw talent, charisma, and relentless drive. Cena’s decision to put him over would be a fitting way for the veteran to leave a lasting mark on the future of WWE.
Jelly Roll also praised Cena’s recent performances, calling his current run a heartfelt tribute to wrestling. He acknowledged how Cena has proven his critics wrong by continuing to deliver high-quality matches with passion and attention to detail, despite his increased commitments in Hollywood. “Cena’s always had a way of bringing something extra to his matches,” Jelly Roll said, highlighting how Cena often emphasizes small, often overlooked moments that show his dedication to his craft.
With Cena’s farewell tour winding down and only a few dates remaining, fans are eagerly speculating about how his career will end. While Jelly Roll believes Cena’s final opponent could be a rising star like Breakker, only time will tell who will have the honor of sharing the ring with Cena in his last WWE match. One thing’s for certain: Cena’s legacy will forever be etched in the annals of professional wrestling.
