John Cena has addressed the criticism surrounding his WWE retirement tour, which gained attention following the departures of The Rock and Travis Scott. During WWE Elimination Chamber, Cena shocked the crowd by aligning with The Rock and Travis Scott, but afterward, The Rock made no further appearances that year, and Travis Scott only showed up once more at WrestleMania before being removed from the storyline.
Fans have expressed disappointment over the unfinished storyline involving The Rock and Scott, but Cena has responded on his “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast. He acknowledged the fans’ concerns but highlighted that the tour included significant matches with other key wrestlers like Randy Orton, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and Logan Paul. Cena emphasized that while star power adds excitement, what was presented was still meaningful and beautiful to him personally.
He further explained that plans often change due to injuries, heartbreaks, or shifts in decisions, and WWE audiences generally understand that injuries can disrupt storylines. Cena encouraged fans to focus on what was delivered rather than what could have been imagined, reflecting that his final chapter in the ring was calm, peaceful, and enjoyable.
