WWE icon John Cena has given the clearest image to date as to when his time in the ring will come to an end.
Speculation over Cena's retirement has continued to grow in recent years, especially with his matches for WWE becoming increasingly sporadic. Cena's most recent match for WWE came at Crown Jewel 2023 and saw the 16-time WWE World Champion lose to Solo Sikoa.
In addition to his lengthy tenure, Cena's thriving Hollywood career has led many to believe his days in the ring are numbered. In an interview with ET Online to promote his new film Argylle, John spoke candidly about the end of his wrestling career.
"I never wanted to go out there just for the sake of going out there. And I’m gonna be 47 this year. I feel great. So inside I feel great, but I know what it takes to be a WWE performer night in and night out and I don’t ever wanna just go out there and do it to do it. I wanna have the passion — the same passion as the fanbase — and I wanna give them exactly what they give me. The miles on the speedometer say, ‘Hey, that’s gotta be done before 50.'”
Little is known about what plans WWE and Cena have (if any) regarding his retirement match. Mere weeks after his loss to Solo Sikoa, Cena underwent successful surgery on his arms.
Argylle will release in cinemas on February 2.
