As for Cena’s opponent in his final match, that will be determined by the winner of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament currently underway. Whether facing off against Australian wrestler Gunther or American fighter LA Knight, Cena’s showdown promises to be a memorable one. In addition to the main event, the evening will feature exhibition matches between NXT rising stars and the main roster talents, along with appearances from WWE personalities.
