John Cena’s final match will seemingly not be taking place in Boston as initially rumored. According to WrestleVotes, Washington, DC will be the location for Cena’s final match in December.
Jon Alba of SI.com noted the following in regards to the situation…
“Sources indicated to me Boston went very hard for hosting it, but WWE wanted the city to cover costs it previously hadn’t for WWE events.
WWE has been trying to push John Cena’s last match as a destination weekend, with other events set around the Saturday Night’s Main Event taping. This would, according to bidding documents from earlier this year, include a events like an Undertaker One-Man show.”

Alba also stated the following…
“Boston wanted his last match badly, and I know firsthand officials made a very strong push for it. WWE and TKO want Cena’s last match to be a major tourism destination event. Doing that in December in Boston around the holidays isn’t easy.”
