John Cena has officially retired from WWE in 2025, marking the end of one of the greatest careers in pro wrestling history. But as the "Cenation" era closes, a massive question remains: What do we call this next chapter of WWE?

In this episode, Brian H. Waters breaks down the history of WWE eras and the legends who defined them. From the heavy-hitting days of Bruno Sammartino and Bob Backlund in the WWWF, to the "Golden Era" of Hulk Hogan, the "New Generation" led by Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels, and the "Attitude Era" dominance of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.

We look at John Cena’s legacy across the "Ruthless Aggression" and "PG" eras and ask the ultimate question: Who takes the torch in 2025? Is it Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, or a new breakout star?
