In a couple of short weeks, 2025 for WWE is ending, and fans have been reflecting on the biggest aspect that has happened this year: WWE’s most charismatic star, John Cena, is retiring. With Cena finishing up his retirement tour, it makes fans think who else deserves one to close their career. Here are five WWE superstars who deserve their own retirement tour.
AJ Styles
AJ Styles made it clear that he will retire from wrestling in 2026. Styles is still under contract with WWE as he is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions alongside Dragon Lee.
While AJ Styles still competes, fans suspect whether he will receive a swan song tour, much like John Cena. Styles can set his sights on other goals before he steps away. For starters, he can challenge someone he’s never worked with in a singles bout.
For the first time in a WWE ring, AJ Styles can face CM Punk, another wrestler with a parallel career. These men are no strangers to each other, as they have a history dating back over 20 years at Ring of Honor. WWE can have AJ challenge Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, a title Styles has never won before.
Aside from CM Punk as AJ’s dream opponent in WWE, he would also like to work one more time in TNA. Now that WWE and TNA are partnered with each other, it’s likely that fans can see AJ make one more appearance at the company he helped build from the ground up.
Styles and Lee could join up with Mike Santana in TNA to combat the NXT talent who cost Santana the TNA title in the first place. Throughout his retirement tour, Styles should face anyone he wants, whether it’s past rivals or younger talent he’s been adamant about facing.
