After a lengthy absence, John Cena returned to WWE in September. He has been feuding with The Bloodline while making frequent appearances on SmackDown. Although he is scheduled for live engagements until November, The Cenation Leader has dropped hints about retirement.
There have been suggestions that WWE might grant him one more world championship, which would allow him to tie Ric Flair’s record of 16 titles. Following the tradition of many other superstars before him, Cena may use his retirement to elevate the careers of up-and-coming performers.
John Cena talks on his retirement
For more than twenty years, Cena was the public face of WWE. Following the Attitude Era, established by The Rock and Stone Cold, he brought in the “Ruthless Aggression” era. Although Cena has been busy as an actor, he still finds time to wrestle occasionally.
He has increased his wrestling appearances this year to the delight of fans. However, he has less time for wrestling due to his busy acting schedule. John Cena will have his first televised bout since losing to Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 when he teams up with LA Knight to take on the Bloodline brothers at Fastlane on October 7.
The 46-year-old wrestling icon said in a recent interview that he may retire at age 50 due to physical restrictions. Given his age, he may call it quits after WrestleMania 44. So, it is clear that he has considered leaving professional wrestling because of his age and injury history. During an interview with Kayla Braxton on the most recent episode of The Bump, he expressed gratitude for his time in WWE and said he wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet.
Fans want one last title run for John Cena
John Cena, an icon in WWE, is making a comeback. Fans hope he will set a new world record before calling retiring. His legendary match with Kurt Angle in his SmackDown debut will never be forgotten.
Recently, Cena appeared on WWE’s The Bump, where he mentioned that his time is running out. Cena’s potential retirement has left fans emotional. Before he hangs up his boots, they wish for him to leave a legacy.
With 16 titles, Cena is currently tied with Ric Flair for the most championships ever. Many of Cena’s Twitter followers have been urging him to aim for number 18 and either tie or surpass Flair’s record of 17 championships.
Fans want to see Cena set the record by beating Roman Reigns without diminishing Reigns’ reputation since Cena has defeated great stars before. But if The Tribal Chief is really scheduled to face The Rock at WrestleMania 40 over Cody Rhodes, then where can we anticipate Cena vs. The Big Dog’s historic showdown? Discuss the rumors surrounding Cena’s retirement in the comments.
