Stoke City could be on the verge of a blockbuster ownership shake-up, with reports suggesting WWE legend and Hollywood star John Cena is closing in on the acquisition of a 25% stake in the Championship club. The proposed investment would see Cena become a minority shareholder, while John Coates is expected to remain the club’s majority owner after previously holding outright control.
Although the deal has yet to be officially completed, negotiations are believed to be at an advanced stage, sparking excitement among supporters. Cena’s global profile and business experience could bring fresh commercial opportunities and significantly raise Stoke City’s international visibility.
The Potters have been working to strengthen both on and off the pitch, and the potential arrival of such a high-profile investor would mark one of the most eye-catching developments in the club’s recent history. Fans will now eagerly await official confirmation as discussions reportedly edge closer to a successful conclusion.
