Former WWE Champion on possibly competing at WrestleMania 40
John Cena has been in and out of the promotion as he has been busy portraying different roles in Hollywood over the past few years. Last year, he faced Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel 2023 before going back to the silver screens.
However, the Leader of the Cenation's retirement has often been the talk of the town as he's closing to 50. Speaking to Entertainment, Cena talked about the possibility of competing at WrestleMania 40 in Philidelphia.
"I don't know if I'll be free that weekend, but it is a weekend, and movies don't shoot on the weekends. But when I say I'm done -- in WWE, they say never say never, and a lot of people retire and come back -- I'm just being honest with myself. There's such a great new generation now as well. It's time to pass the electric energy on to the folks that can be there every day."
Last year, he faced Austin Theory for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 39 and lost.
