John Cenaâ€s farewell match is set for December 13 at Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event in Washington, D.C., and WWE already knows who they want in the ring with him—and itâ€s not Adam Copeland. Despite speculation and fantasy booking from fans and pundits alike, WWE has made its position clear: theyâ€re not looking to bring Copeland back for any kind of special appearance, even on the biggest stage of Cenaâ€s final match.
The update came during the October 23, 2025 episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, where Dave Meltzer addressed David Otungaâ€s recent comments suggesting WWE could offer Andrade to AEW in exchange for one night with Copeland as Cenaâ€s last opponent. According to Meltzer, the idea isnâ€t just unrealistic—itâ€s completely off the table.
“They already decided what theyâ€re doing for Cenaâ€s retirement and Adam Copeland? They donâ€t want Adam Copeland. Why would they want Adam Copeland to begin with? Cena might want him, but you know that oneâ€s not happening, and thereâ€s nothing in that direction.â€
Meltzer added that Copelandâ€s recent absence from AEW is unrelated to WWE, confirming the former Edge simply left to focus on acting projects and hasnâ€t been in talks with WWE for any sort of return.
“I guess some people havenâ€t told people that he just left to do some acting work and itâ€s got nothing to do with WWE or being Cenaâ€s last opponent.â€
Even if AEW and WWE were in the business of talent trading—which theyâ€re not—thereâ€s zero indication WWE has any interest in bringing Copeland back. Internally, theyâ€ve already selected GUNTHER as Cenaâ€s final opponent, and any talk of rewriting that plan seems to be just speculation with no foundation.
At this point, itâ€s clear: WWE has closed the door on Adam Copeland, and he wonâ€t be part of John Cenaâ€s final chapter.
