Australian WWE Superstar Grayson Waller has put John Cena on notice ahead of the recently announced Crown Jewel: Perth premium live event. With WWE confirming that the October 11, 2025, show at Perth’s RAC Arena will feature Cena’s final performance in Australia as part of his retirement tour, Waller made it clear the legend won’t get a simple farewell cruise on his home turf.
Speaking during an interview with Australia’s “Project” program, Waller acknowledged Cena’s status while staking his claim. “This is John Cena’s last appearance in Australia, and that’s a crazy thing,” Waller said. “John Cena is obviously the GOAT, he’s a legend of this industry, but he has to remember, he’s coming to Australia.”
The “Aussie Icon” then issued a bold challenge and a direct threat to the 17-time World Champion. “This is my house, I run this place, if he wants to come here, he’ll have to go through me,” Waller declared emphatically. He further threatened to cut Cena’s farewell tour short: “That retirement tour is supposed to finish in December, maybe it finishes in October because if he comes anywhere near me in my country, I’m putting him out to pasture.”
