The retirement tour for Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena will pass through Saudi Arabia at Night of Champions next month, per a recent announcement from the promotion.

An ad published Wednesday by WWE MENA announced that the event will include “one final match in Saudi Arabia” for Cena when Night of Champions takes place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on June 28.

It’s unclear at the moment who Cena would face at the Premium Live Event (PLE), which is just a month away. Considering the show’s theme, placing importance on champions defending their titles, it’s likely that his reign as WWE champ will be at stake for the second time when he appears.

Cena became Undisputed WWE Champion last month, defeating Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania 41. In a reign he hopes will run until the end of his retirement tour later this year and “ruin wrestling” in the process, Cena has defended the title once thus far, beating Randy Orton at Backlash.
