John Cena reflects on his WWE retirement and future plans

In a recent interview, John Cena challenged the notion that his WWE retirement was on his 'own terms'. Cena retired after his match against GUNTHER at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in December 2025, during a year-long retirement tour that saw him turn heel for the first time in decades. He acknowledged the impermanence of his career, stating his desire to continue wrestling indefinitely but recognizing that it was time to step away. Cena has transitioned to acting, promoting his upcoming film 'Matchbox: The Movie', and announced the 'John Cena Classic' tournament featuring WWE NXT stars rumored for December.
