Seth Rollins may be sidelined with a torn rotator cuff, but the Visionary just confirmed he won’t miss one of the
biggest WWE events in history—John Cena’s final match.
Rollins, who’s currently out of action, revealed during an interview on The Rich Eisen Show that his travel plans
include a stop in Washington, D.C. for WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025, where Cena is scheduled
to wrestle his retirement bout at the Capital One Arena.
While talking about his Chicago Bears fandom, Rollins casually dropped the news when explaining his weekend itinerary.
“So, also breaking news. I’m going to go to my first Bears game of the season coming up.”
When asked which game, he added:

return—and WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas is firmly in his sights. The two-night mega show is set for April 18 and 19,
2026, and Rollins says he’s targeting a February return to start “locking in” ahead of WWE’s biggest event.
“Uh, gosh — it’ll probably be gradual. I don’t even really know. My guess is about 8 to 12 weeks of, ‘Okay, now I have
to stop eating like an a***.’ Probably 12 weeks. Plus, we’ll be moving right into WrestleMania season, which is when I —
you know — 12-day weeks. April. Yeah. Yeah, that’s April. So I’m hoping like around February, after all the holiday
stuff, I can start to be like, ‘Okay, lock in. No more BS.’ Probably after the Super Bowl and stuff, I would say. Like
give myself a month before I come back-ish. Maybe — I don’t even know. You know, they say six months, so this could be
For now, the WWE Universe can expect to see him in D.C. as part of Cena’s final chapter—one legend saying goodbye while
another gears up for a major comeback.
