John Cena was on Entertainment Tonight and was asked about reports saying that “maybe” he will be retiring. Cena himself has said in interviews that his time as a wrestler is coming to an end soon.
“That’s not a maybe,” Cena said. “That time is gonna come and it’s gonna come soon. I never wanted to go out there for the sake of going out there. I’m gonna be 47 this year. I feel great. I want to have the same passion as the fanbase and give them exactly what they give me. The miles on this odometer say, ‘Hey, that’s gotta be done before 50.’
Cena last wrestled and lost to Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel last November. He underwent surgery on both of his arms after that match and he’s talked about the wear and tear on his body from decades of being in the ring.
As of this writing, there’s no word on if he will be part of WrestleMania 40 but his interview on ET seemed to leave the door open for his retirement match to happen after Mania 40.
