As for WrestleMania, taking place in April, Cena teased the possibility of attending, citing potential availability on weekends due to his filming schedule. However, he emphasized that when he says he's done, he means it, acknowledging the cycle of retirements and comebacks in WWE. Cena believes it's time to pass on the energy to the new generation of performers who can be there consistently.
John Cena was last seen in the 2022 WWE SmackDown. In Fastlane, he and LA Knight won against The Bloodline. After the event, Cena was asked how long he plans to continue. He said there's work to do to reach the level he's used to. Cena, who's 46, admitted that his wrestling days are ending.
"I've always said this won't be my last match, but I know the last one is getting closer," Cena shared. He promised not to disappoint the WWE fans but acknowledged that he needs to improve and find his groove again.
