WWE Holiday Tour Hits Tampa as John Cena Wraps Up Career

WWE's yearly Holiday Tour stops at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa on Dec. 27, 2025. The event follows two weeks after John Cena's final bow in the wrestling ring.

Cena steps into the squared circle one last time on Dec. 13, 2025. Through 23 years, he climbed from rookie status to earn 16 world titles, stamping his mark as a wrestling icon.

Stars like CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will light up the Tampa show. Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley, and Dominik Mysterio round out a card filled with high-flying stunts and mat-based combat.

WWE's Holiday Tour mixes grappling with winter cheer. Past shows turned arenas into winter wonderlands, with wrestlers battling amid twinkling lights and snow effects.

Tampa's pick as a tour stop fits the city's wrestling history. The town hosted countless big matches over the years, with WrestleMania 37 standing out as its crown jewel in 2021.

As Cena steps away, WWE pushes forward. Young stars step up while the company keeps its spot at wrestling's peak in North America.
