Former rival has not discussed for John Cena’s retirement tour: report
Ever since John Cena’s 2025 retirement tour was announced, fans have fantasized about the prospect of former rival Adam Copeland, known as Edge in WWE, returning to WWE to face him. When Copeland revealed on AEW programming that he was taking an absence and wasn’t sure if he’d be back, many fans began speculating on him facing Cena, despite him being under AEW contract.
It has been a long time since any form of deal was made between WWE and AEW. In the past, things had been worked out regarding Billy Gunn appearing at the WWE Hall Of Fame, Bryan Danielson giving kind words in a John Cena tribute show, and Chris Jericho appearing on Steve Austin’s podcast on the WWE Network. However, there has been nothing for a while as heat between the two sides grew.

In the case of Copeland, Fightful Select has noted that his name has not even been brought up within WWE, even with the online chatter.
It is firmly noted that he has not been discussed, the situation has not been broached, and a match between John Cena and Adam Copeland is “100% not happening.” This was always going to be the longest of longest shots.
John Cena’s retirement tour is scheduled to continue at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 29 in San Diego, California. Cena is set to team with Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, and Randy Orton to face The MFTs (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Talla Tonga) inside the WarGames structure.
