WWE wanted Trump at Cena’s last match

December 15, 2025 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

John Cena’s final match took place in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night. According to reports, the company wanted Donald Trump at the match.

Dave Meltzer reported that WWE wanted Trump to be part of the event but he declined the invitation. Notably, Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame. While Trump did not attend, Department of Education Secretary and former owner of WWE, Linda McMahon and the Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. were in attendance.

Trump made an appearance at the Army vs. Navy football game earlier in the day in Baltimore, Maryland and could have made it.

Payout Perspective:

Fortunately, Trump did not show up to take away from Cena’s final match. Trump went on social media to make the double murder of Rob Reiner and his wife about himself. While media never goes after the president for his social media blunders, this may have been a PR issue to associate WWE with Trump. Obviously, we know Trump and UFC are close, but WWE fans are not as politically tied to him.

I feel like crap tables minimums will be raised to $500

@esidery That $13B will be carried by most of the residents. It always starts off saying these owners/investors will pay then once they start to build they start asking the city/state for money.

The NBA will soon announce the Walton Laurie group as the expansion bid winners for Las Vegas with launch in 2028-29.

Nancy Walton Laurie, Bill Laurie and Raiders minority owner Egon Durban would build a new arena.

Including the arena, their official bid is around $13 billion.
