The Price of Saying Goodbye to John Cena
Let’s get down to the brass tacks, shall we? If you want to be close enough to see the sweat fly from Cena’s brow as he delivers one last Attitude Adjustment, you’d better have a trust fund. First-row ringside seats are going for a cool $11,500. Per ticket. That’s not a typo. For the price of a decent used car, you can sit front and center to watch a man who built his career on “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” say his final goodbyes.
Think that’s outrageous? It gets better. Second-row seats on the ramp side are a “bargain” at $9,500. Feel like saving a few bucks? Grab a fifth-row seat for a mere $6,500. For the rest of us peasants, standard seats will range from $250 to $3,000. So, even the “cheap” seats will cost you a small fortune. It seems the demand to see John Cena for the last time is, to put it mildly, astronomical. WWE is cashing in on our nostalgia, and they’re not even being subtle about it.
Triple H Praises Cena’s Legacy
Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE‘s Chief Content Officer and the man with the sledgehammer, had some predictably glowing words for Cena in a press release. “John’s contributions to WWE are immeasurable,” Levesque stated. “There are no words that can truly relay how much he means to this business.” He’s not wrong. Cena carried the company on his back for over a decade, became a 17-time world champion, and is arguably one of the greatest of all time. Triple H promised an “unforgettable send-off,” and with these prices, it’s already unforgettable for our bank accounts.
The Farewell Tour Before the Final Bow
Before Cena takes his final bow in D.C., he has a few more stops on his farewell tour. Fans can catch him at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, on October 11, where he’s set to face his long-time rival, AJ Styles. After that, he’s scheduled for Raw appearances in Boston on November 10 and at the legendary Madison Square Garden the following week. He’ll also be part of the Survivor Series event in San Diego on November 29.
So, you have a few more chances to see him, but the final, definitive match is the one everyone’s eyeing. The one where we all get a little misty-eyed, remembering the Doctor of Thuganomics, the “You Can’t See Me” taunts, and the countless main events. It’s the end of an era, and WWE has priced it accordingly. Start saving your pennies, or maybe just hope for a really good livestream. Because for most of us, seeing John Cena’s last match in person is about as likely as seeing him in the ring.
