Main Event: Cena’s Farewell
The night’s centerpiece was Cena’s retirement match against Roman Reigns, billed as “The Final Chapter.” In a fiercely contested battle, Cena showcased his timeless technique and resilience, trading blows with Reigns before ultimately succumbing to the Universal Championship holder. The match ended in a dramatic pinfall following a spear and a SURFBOARD clutch hold by Reigns, drawing cheers and tears from the audience.
Beyond the main event, SNME 2025 featured multiple championship bouts. The Women’s Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley, defended her WTO Championship against Charlotte Flair in a brutal match that saw both competitors utilize signature moves. Ripley emerged victorious after a schoolgirl pin, retaining her gold.
In a surprise twist, The Rock made a rare appearance, interrupting Cody Rhodes’ Intercontinental Championship match. Rhodes, despite the interference, managed to defeat Seth Rollins to claim his first IC belt, setting up a potential showdown at WrestleMania 2026.
The tag team division saw The Judgment Day retain their WWE Tag Team Championships against The New Day in a high-flying, action-packed contest. Meanwhile, AJ Styles defeated Karl Anderson in a masterclass of technical wrestling, further solidifying his position as one of the industry’s elite.
Fans also witnessed the debut of emerging star Bron Breakker, who dominated NXT UK Champion Pete Corvin in a dominating performance, hinting at a bright future for the former football player turned wrestler.
The show closed with a emotional tribute to Cena, who addressed the crowd, thanking fans for two decades of support. “You gave me a platform, a family, and a purpose,” he said, before the arena lit up in a sea of candles held by admirers.
Social media exploded with reactions, trending #CenaLegacy and #SNME2025. Analysts praised the event’s storytelling, calling it a perfect send-off for one of wrestling’s most iconic figures. As the dust settles, the wrestling world already turns its eyes to WrestleMania, where new rivalries will ignite.
