John Cena has been retired for over 180 days, after his final clash against GUNTHER at “Saturday Night’s Important Event” on December thirteenth, 2025. Since then, the veteran has returned to announce the “John Cena Classic,” which is a work-in-progress tournament, but otherwise, Cena appears to be content along with his retirement. Nonetheless, on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Cena admitted that there are particular points of wrestling that he does miss.
“What I miss is the audience, the energy that I feel if you come through the curtain,” he confessed. “I needed to walk away because I am unable to get body slammed anymore. It was time.”
Cena then jokingly added that Tuesday mornings are a lot better for him now, since he now not has to compete within the ring on Mondays for “RAW.”
Wrestler retirement is commonly the butt of jokes due to just what number of veterans mysteriously returned to motion after seemingly hanging up their boots. Recently, Cena joked that he would come back for a big sum of cash and with news that Elon Musk has turn into the world’s first trillionaire, ‘The Champ’ used this fact to make a claim. During an appearance at “SpaceCon,” he jokingly stated that the one one who could persuade him to come back back can be Musk, and just for an enormous chunk of his fortune. Nonetheless, Cena desires to ultimately honor fans, especially those that bought ‘Last Time Is Now’ t-shirts, and keep his word, emphasizing how necessary it’s to remain retired.
