2025 EYG Star of the Year

John Cena

John Cena returned to the WWE this year for his retirement tour. After 20 years, John Cena put on several huge matches against such opponents as Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, AJ Styles, Dominik Mysterio, and Randy Orton.

John Cena won his 17th World Championship, breaking the record of Ric Flair.

John Cena won the Intercontinental Championship, becoming a Grand Slam Champion.

John Cena turned heel, in one of the most shocking moments of the year.

While Cena’s heel run was not great (mainly because the fans did not really want to boo him), he put everything he had into it.

His final match takes place on Saturday Night’s Main Event on Dec. 13.

He also starred in the HBO Max series Peacemaker season two. He cameoed in Superman. He starred in Heads of State with Idris Elba.

John Cena has been at the forefront all year long and he deserves his flowers. He is out EYG Star of the Year.
