"My WWE journey is coming to an end" - John Cena makes bold claim about his future
John Cena was once the backbone of WWE when he was a full-time performer traveling with the roster on the road. Recently, The Franchise Player made a bold claim about his future and addressed the eventual end of his journey as a wrestler.
Almost two decades ago, John Cena got his big break in the Stamford-based promotion and became the hottest star in professional wrestling. After years of wrestling, he transitioned into a Hollywood A-Lister and donned different hats as he started a new journey outside of wrestling.
Sadly, Father Time will come for John Cena, as no one can outrun it. During an interview with People Magazine, the former 16-time World Heavyweight Champion made an interesting claim about his future, saying he aims to remain physically active into his late 80s or 90s.
"At 47 now, my goal is to be physically active until I can't. I put a number in my head of like, I'd like to be physically active into my late 80s or 90s. To do a parallel squat in my late 80s."
He also acknowledged that his WWE run will soon come to an end.
"I know my WWE journey is coming to an end, but fitness was a part of my life long before the WWE journey started,” he stresses. “Fitness will be a part of my life, hopefully as long as my heart's beating. So the WWE has been a great chapter in my life — it's year 23 for me — and the sun's setting on that chapter in the book, but fitness will never not be a part of my life." [H/T: People]
John Cena was last seen on WWE RAW after WrestleMania XL
John Cena hasn't been able to catch a break in the company when it comes to one-on-one matches. Last year, the 16-time World Champion lost to The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel 2023 and went on a hiatus.
A dejected John Cena left the arena and didn't appear for the promotion until WrestleMania XL. The Cenation Leader returned and assisted Cody Rhodes by taking out Solo Sikoa.
While The Rock hit him with his finisher, John Cena was able to get back on his own two feet and celebrate it with Cody Rhodes after he defeated Roman Reigns. On the RAW after WrestleMania in Philadelphia, John Cena competed in a match.
The 16-time World Champion made a surprise return to team up with The Awesome Truth and defeated The Judgment Day in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.
