Another piece of John Cena’s farewell puzzle just fell into place—and it involves a familiar voice behind the mic. Longtime WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia has officially revealed that she will be the one announcing Cena’s final match.
Speaking during an Instagram Live Q&A on November 3, Garcia addressed fan questions about the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025, where Cena is set to wrestle for the last time. Garcia didn’t hold back in confirming her role for the emotional night.
“It is on Saturday Night’s Main Event, December 13th. I will be there. So barring any surprises that I don’t know, I will be announcing it. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.”
She shared how meaningful the moment would be for her personally, noting her early connection to Cena’s WWE journey.
“It would be really, really cool, especially because I announced John Cena as The Prototype before he was John Cena… and then just to see his entire career—it’s been absolutely incredible.”
Garcia also reflected on the full-circle nature of the opportunity, having introduced Cena during his early days in WWE and now preparing to bookend his iconic career two decades later. Her emotional connection to the moment is clear, and fans are already hoping nothing changes her current plans to announce.
“It would be such an honor, absolute honor.”
The match itself will be determined by a 16-man tournament that begins November 10 in Boston, featuring wrestlers from across WWE brands—and even some who aren’t currently under contract. The winner will earn the right to face Cena in his final bout at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.
With Cena’s farewell match already shaping up to be one of the most emotional moments in WWE history, having Lilian Garcia on the mic adds an extra layer of nostalgia that longtime fans won’t want to miss.
