Carmelo Hayes has called his shot for a match with John Cena.
Cena’s retirement from in-ring competition in WWE was announced at the Money in the Bank event earlier this summer in a surprise appearance. The Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania in 2025 will mark his final appearances in the ring.
Cena aims to wrestle all year and targets 36 dates with the company. He will also be on Netflix’s first Raw.
While speaking to Denise Salcedo, Hayes noted he wants a match with Cena on his retirement tour.
Hayes said, “I will call out somebody just because I feel like this is the perfect time to do it. I think, you know, I talked about it earlier today as well, but John Cena, he’s on his retirement tour. He put out the message. He said, you want some, come get some. I think, to be honest, I’m right at the front of the line of people that are going to come get some. So, John, I’m just letting you know, just giving you the heads up. Your time is up, and my time is now.”
