John Cena Announces “The Last Time Is Now” Tournament To Decide His Final Opponent

The Last Time Is Now Tournament to determine John Cena’s last ever opponent at next months SNME was announced.

John Cena might not have stepped foot in the ring at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Salt Lake City, but the 16-time world champion made headlines anyway — dropping a major bombshell via video message that sets the stage for his in-ring farewell.

For weeks, fans have been speculating who would share the ring with Cena one last time when he wrestles his final match this December on Peacock. But in classic Cena fashion, the veteran threw everyone a curveball: he won’t be choosing his last opponent himself. Instead, a new tournament called “The Last Time Is Now” will determine who earns the honor.

According to Cena, 16 competitors will enter the bracket, with names being drawn from across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and — intriguingly — even outside WWE. That last tease immediately got fans buzzing, given WWE’s recent working relationship with TNA. Could we see a crossover appearance from someone like a TNA standout? Cena didn’t confirm anything, but he certainly left the door wide open.

During the video, clips flashed across the screen featuring several potential entrants, including GUNTHER, Carmelo Hayes, Dominik Mysterio, Bronson Reed, and even AEW’s Penta El Zero Miedo — suggesting the possibilities might go well beyond WWE’s walls.

The tournament kicks off on the November 10 edition of Monday Night Raw — fittingly taking place in Cena’s hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. WWE is already billing that episode as Cena’s final appearance in the city that helped make him a star.

Cena’s farewell match will then headline Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., marking what’s expected to be an emotional end to one of the most storied careers in wrestling history.

Whether his final opponent ends up being a long-time rival or a rising star, “The Last Time Is Now” promises to be a celebration of Cena’s legacy — and one final showcase of the man who truly made the WWE Universe never give up.

Tony Khan Confirms Changes Coming To AEW Women’s Blood & Guts And Tag Tournament

AEW’s first-ever Women’s Blood & Guts match is just days away, but it looks like the company’s historic bout is already being reshaped behind the scenes. During a Halloween night livestream on X (formerly Twitter), AEW President Tony Khan gave fans a major update on the women’s division — and confirmed that both the Blood & Guts lineup and the ongoing Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament are being adjusted due to injuries.

Despite some uncertainty, Khan reassured fans that the Women’s Blood & Guts match, set for November 12 in Greensboro, North Carolina, is still happening as planned. “It’s going to have to change,” Khan admitted, explaining that the match lineup will be slightly altered. He also promised that additional announcements would be made on tonight’s AEW Collision: Fright Night special.

One of the biggest shake-ups involves Penelope Ford, who’s now sidelined indefinitely with a torn UCL. Ford’s absence means her tag partner Megan Bayne is searching for a new teammate to continue in the tag title tournament. In an interesting twist, Marina Shafir has stepped up to fill that spot — and the newly-formed team will make their debut tonight against Nixon Newell and Miranda Alize.

The Women’s Blood & Guts match has been building since late September, when former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter threw down the challenge after a string of brutal attacks from the Triangle of Madness — the dark alliance of Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Thekla. With Hayter’s team still taking shape and Khan hinting at more surprises, fans can expect major reveals heading into the event.

Meanwhile, the men’s side of AEW isn’t slowing down either — Dynamite saw Orange Cassidy challenge for the annual Men’s Blood & Guts showdown, potentially setting the stage for a clash between the Conglomeration and the Death Riders.

With AEW’s biggest double dose of chaos just around the corner, November is shaping up to be one of the most violent and unpredictable months in company history.

MLW Reportedly in High-Level Talks for Major New Weekly TV Series

It looks like Major League Wrestling (MLW) is preparing to make a big move on the television front. According to a new report from PWInsider, the promotion is deep in discussions over media rights for a brand-new weekly TV series, signaling one of its most ambitious projects in years.

Sources indicate that MLW executives have been holding meetings in New York and Los Angeles, exploring potential broadcast and streaming partnerships to bring the new series to life. While details remain tightly guarded, the belief is that the talks are focused primarily on the U.S. market.

If negotiations go well, the new series would mark MLW’s first weekly show since “Fusion” wrapped up in December 2023. To get things rolling, the company has already started searching for new backstage interviewers, suggesting that production plans are beginning to take shape behind the scenes.

At the moment, MLW’s U.S. programming airs on beIN Sports, which showcases its monthly specials, with additional live content available on YouTube. Internationally, MLW can be found on StarTimes across Africa and the Wataaa Fight Channel in the Middle East.

Adding to the intrigue, actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. and director Tony Toat were both spotted at the MLW Slaughterhouse event earlier this month — a sighting that’s fueled speculation about possible Hollywood involvement in the new project.

While MLW hasn’t officially announced its new TV home just yet, the buzz around these talks suggests that the company is gearing up for a major return to weekly television — and potentially, a bigger spotlight in the global wrestling landscape.
