Summary

John Cena opened night two of WWE WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, welcoming the crowd before sending the show to the main stage for the event presentation.

After Cena introduced the show, the WrestleMania graphics rolled, pyro followed, and the in-ring portion of the card began with Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi. The moment mirrored Cena's role on night one of WrestleMania 42, where he also welcomed fans at the start of the show.

Cena's WrestleMania 42 role

Having Cena open both nights gave WrestleMania 42 a familiar centerpiece at the top of each broadcast, even though he is no longer wrestling. It also kept one of WWE's biggest names visibly tied to the event weekend before the card moved into major matches like Lesnar vs. Oba Femi.

Cena's final match came in December at Saturday Night's Main Event, where GUNTHER submitted him.
