John Cena stars in a promotional video. Cena points out that since he announced his retirement tour, the question he has been asked the most is who will be his final opponent. And his answer has always been the same: he wants to face anyone willing to step up and seize the opportunity that was given to him on his first day. That said, he announces that on November 10th, a 16-man tournament will begin, all chosen at random and coming from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT (and even from outside WWE). In that tournament, wrestlers from his generation will compete, as well as others he has never faced. Therefore, his final opponent will not be handpicked but will have to earn that right through effort. And their victory will lead them directly to Washington DC on December 13th, the date of a new - and historic - edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.
