In this episode of the Ringside Renaissance Podcast, Kombat Jones and Very Deadly Jesse dive into the emotional buildup surrounding John Cena’s final WWE match at Saturday Night Main Event. Is this truly The Last Time Is Now — and if so, how does one of the greatest superstars in WWE history close out his legendary career against Gunther?

The conversation explores Cena’s lasting impact on professional wrestling, from his historic championship reigns to his unmatched legacy outside the ring, including his record-setting Make-A-Wish contributions. We also break down the growing mystery of the masked man in WWE, sparking speculation about who it could be and how it might affect the landscape heading into the new year.

Beyond Cena’s farewell, the episode covers major WWE storylines shaping the road to Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. Topics include the rise of LA Knight, the continued evolution of the women’s tag team division, and the massive champion vs. champion clash between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi, where interference seems almost inevitable.

We also discuss Bron Breakker’s explosive promo on Raw and his upcoming collision with CM Punk, the role of Logan Paul in WWE’s current direction, and why mid-card stars are becoming just as important as the main event scene. From future prospects like Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater to final predictions for John Cena vs. Gunther, this episode captures everything fans are buzzing about heading into Saturday Night Main Event.

Whether you’ve followed John Cena since the beginning or you’re locked in for WWE’s next era, this is a must-listen episode as we reflect on Cena’s final year and what The Last Time Is Now truly means.
