John Cena will appear at the WWE World event at WrestleMania 42

John Cena was added to the guest lineup of WWE World for this weekend in Las Vegas. His only public appearance will be on Saturday, April 18, and the few photo opportunities that were put up for sale sold out quickly. Fanatics reported that the photo ops were limited and required a valid entry to WWE World.

Prices were around $450, a figure that did not deter the demand to see up close the 17-time WWE world champion in his return to the event.

In addition to photos with fans, Cena will participate in the live recording of Six Feet Under, The Undertaker's podcast, also scheduled for Saturday as part of WWE World. The appearance will bring together two of the most recognizable figures in recent WWE history during WrestleMania weekend.

Since his retirement in December 2025, Cena has remained linked to the company as an ambassador and has maintained an active presence outside the ring, including narrating the video that introduced the new 'Club WWE' membership program on Raw.

Hosting role at WrestleMania 42

As host of WrestleMania 42, Cena will be in Las Vegas during Saturday and Sunday, with a special interest in the debuts at the event of Lash Legend, Je'Von Evans, Trick Williams, Oba Femi, and Stephanie Vaquer. WWE is leveraging his presence to enhance the overall weekend experience.

His schedule at WWE World and at WrestleMania itself underscores that, even though he no longer competes, Cena remains a key piece in the company's public presentation.
