You can’t always see him, but this weekend nearly 50,000 lucky wrestling fans will get to watch John Cena wrestle for the final time in Toronto at the WWE Elimination Chamber.
The sold out show will take place Saturday at the Rogers Centre, it’s the first time WWE has hosted an event in the dome since Werestlemania X8 in 2002.
Last year, Cena announced he would be retiring in 2025. His tour kicked off early this year, having made his final appearance at the Royal Rumble in Minneapolis, MN.
Now, Cena is set to give Toronto one final salute as he nears the end of his wrestling career, which spans more than 20 years.

Cena will face off against CM Punk, Damian Priest, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Logan.
The elimination chamber consists of a large chain-linked cage surrounding the ring, preventing the wrestlers from leaving. Two wrestlers begin the match, while the other four wait for their own closed pod placed at each corner of the ring, throughout the match the pods will open at random releasing one of the wrestlers until all six are battling.
The chamber is the last major event before Wrestlemania which takes place at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise Nevada in April. The winner at the Elimination Chamber earns a title match at the event.
Social media users are pumped to see all six wrestlers face off in the brutal match.
“We are ready WWE, [we] drove 17 hours to see this!” one X user wrote.
“Cena’s time is now!” another user added.
“Please Cena win,” one Instagram user commented.
WWE Hall of Famer, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, is also set to make an appearance at the event in Toronto.
Fans who were unable to score tickets can stream the event on Netflix at 7 p.m. EST.
