John Cena has once again clarified that he has not planned a specific retirement tour. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H hinted that Brock Lesnar’s return at SummerSlam was influenced by Cena, who supposedly wanted to face Lesnar’s “Beast” persona one last time before retiring. However, the 17-time world champion denied any connection between Lesnar’s comeback and his own plans.
In a recent interview with the Boston Herald, Cena expressed that he has never picked his final opponent during his career. He stated, “I’ve been in this business for 23 years and have never chosen my opponent. I believe life presents opportunities every day, and you have to give your best to whatever comes your way. Whoever faces me in my last match, I’ll give it my all.”
As Cena prepares for his upcoming match in Paris, which aired last Friday on SmackDown, he has 11 appearances remaining before retiring. Reports indicate that his farewell match will likely not occur at a pay-per-view event but during regular shows.
Fan Take: This clarity from Cena energizes fans, as it preserves the unpredictability of his final run, keeping the suspense alive for his retirement match. It also shows Cena’s humility and respect for the sport, emphasizing that every opportunity in WWE is valuable, which resonates deeply with the wrestling community.
