WWE and John Cena are making history in Los Angeles with a first-of-its-kind wrestling double-header featuring Money in the Bank 2025 and NXT x AAA Worlds Collide. The dual event will bring together global wrestling powerhouses and local fan favorites for a high-octane day of action, all in the heart of Southern California.
Two blockbuster events
The Kia Forum in Inglewood will host Worlds Collide. This event will mark the first official crossover between WWE and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide since the company’s acquisition. Mexican wrestling culture has deep roots in Los Angeles.
This landmark event will showcase AAA’s high-flying icons alongside NXT’s rising stars in a celebration of international talent, tradition, and innovation. Later that night, Money in the Bank takes over the nearby Intuit Dome. It will create an unprecedented one-two punch of wrestling drama.
John Cena’s spotlight moment in Los Angeles?
While the focus is on the two headline events, another story is quietly unfolding. WWE legend and current champion John Cena is expected to compete during Money in the Bank, potentially marking his final in-ring appearance in Los Angeles.
The now 17-time world champion’s legacy is forever tied to WWE’s biggest stages. And this might be L.A.’s last chance to witness him live. Whether he’s defending his title or passing the torch, Cena’s presence brings undeniable weight to an already monumental weekend.
A global fusion of styles
From Lucha Libre’s rich legacy to WWE’s mainstream spectacle, this weekend represents more than just wrestling. It’s a fusion of cultures, generations, and fanbases, and it’s happening only in Los Angeles. Tickets for both events will sell out quickly, so fans should act fast.
This marks the first time both events will happen in the same city on the same day. A clear sign of WWE’s investment in its Southern California fanbase and a reflection of L.A.’s global status as a wrestling capital.
