John Cena WM39

WWE’s Top 5 Male Superstars of 2025

#1. John Cena Accomplished it All in 2025

The main selling point of WWE programming in 2025 was John Cena’s farewell tour. There were so many questions: Will John Cena win his 17th World Championship? Who will he face in his final match?

Nonetheless, the farewell tour was a mixed bag, but Cena did his best to give the Cenation a run of a lifetime. The Champ won his 17th World Title at WrestleMania, becoming the “Never Seen 17.” The Intercontinental Championship also got a taste of Cena’s shoulders as the legend defeated Dominik Mysterio in November to win the belt. In the process, he became a Grand Slam Champion.

Cena reignited old rivalries with Randy Orton, John Cena, and AJ Styles. Not to mention, he had one of the greatest matches in recent memory against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam in an epic Street Fight. There were a few hiccups with his heel run and the squash match with Brock Lesnar, but Cena was operating on another level this year.
