John Cena looks forward to his farewell tour.
John Cena appeared at WWE Money in the Bank in July. There, he announced that he would be retiring from the ring in 2025. Cena then said that he would be going on a farewell tour throughout the year.
Speaking on ExtraTV, Cena was asked about his retirement and what the next year would look like. He emphasized that it would be fun rather than bittersweet. Cena also expressed his gratitude.
“It’s gonna be fun, and not bittersweet for me. It’s gonna be fun,” John Cena said. “I’m so grateful that I’m in a position where I still have my health and I’m able to carve out a large section of time and perform for a year, from January until December, and give everyone also a head’s up. A lot of times in WWE, sometimes injuries force retirement all of the sudden, so one day you’re there and the next day, you’re gone. Or sometimes you say you’re retiring and it’s part of the bit, you want to attack somebody and get a shot at the champion.”
John Cena Gives Fans A Heads-Up
Cena also stated that this was his way of giving the fans a heads-up ahead of his farewell. He stated that he wanted to get together at various spots and get rowdy one more time.
“This is my way for an audience that has made me who I am, after 22, 23 years of investment, to say, ‘Hey, I’m gonna give you six months, that’s your warning, and then in January, we’re going on tour, and then in December, I’m hanging them up,” Cena said. “So let’s all get together at various spots around the world and get loud and rowdy one more time.”
