John Cena Fires Up Bakersfield One Last Time

On the night Bakersfield, California, said goodbye to one of WWE’s greatest legends, John Cena made sure to leave his mark, even with a brief appearance. In just a few minutes in the ring, he managed to energize the arena, respond to the crowd, and raise the stakes for the company’s next major event: Money in the Bank 2025.
Alongside Logan Paul, Cena delivered intense moments, facing Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in a rivalry that has been gaining traction despite the short build-up to the main event. During the segment, the crowd showed their support for veteran R-Truth with chants of “We want Truth,” referencing the popular WWE star. Cena, always attentive to audience reactions, fired back sharply: “You can’t handle the truth,” a phrase that stirred up a mix of cheers and boos from the stands.
The tension escalated even further when Cena and Logan Paul launched an attack, taking down Rhodes and Uso in another show of dominance. Logan even held up the World Heavyweight Title while Cena emphasized that Logan represents the future of WWE. It was a symbolic moment that matched the farewell tone of Cena’s visit to the California city.
This marked the last time the 16-time world champion was in action in Bakersfield, and although his presence was brief, the impact was immediate. He left the ring on a high note, as he has in recent months, making it clear that he still has much to offer, whether inside the ropes or stirring up electrifying reactions from the crowd.
Now, all eyes turn to the upcoming showdown: John Cena and Logan Paul will face Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank. Expectations are high for an intense match, full of personal rivalries, provocations, and the promise of reshaping the course of WWE’s top storylines.
