John Cena, the legendary WWE star, recently retired from his illustrious in-ring career, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable matches and moments. With his departure, fans are left wondering about the dream matches that will never come to fruition. One such dream match that will never happen is a showdown between Cena and AEW star MJF.
In a recent interview with Mostly Sports, MJF expressed his regret over never getting the opportunity to wrestle John Cena. He revealed that Cena is a fan of AEW and has even complimented MJF on his work in the ring. Before CM Punk became his favorite wrestler, MJF idolized Cena and had posters of him in his bedroom as a child. This admiration for Cena adds a layer of disappointment to the fact that they will never face off in the ring.
Despite the missed opportunity with Cena, MJF has had recent success in AEW. At the AEW Worlds End 2025 event, he made a triumphant return and inserted himself into a four-way match for the World Title. Facing off against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Adam Page, MJF emerged victorious and captured his second World Title. The question now remains how long he will be able to hold onto his coveted championship.
As MJF continues to make waves in AEW, fans can only imagine what could have been if he had the chance to go toe-to-toe with John Cena. The respect and admiration between the two wrestlers add a bittersweet element to their missed opportunity for a showdown in the ring.
