WWE has confirmed reports from earlier today regarding a change in plans for John Cena’s final appearances with the company in his hometown area of Boston, Massachusetts.
As noted, WWE originally planned for Cena’s last match to take place at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Boston, MA. in December. Since then, it has come to light that Saturday Night’s Main Event in December will no longer be taking place in Boston.
In an update, one source is reporting that Cena’s actual WWE retirement match will take place on December 13 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. This is the new location for the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show originally expected for Boston.
Additionally, WWE has confirmed that Cena’s final Boston show will be the November 10 episode of WWE Raw, and his final New York appearance will be at WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden in New York City, N.Y. on November 17.
