John Cena’s Future WWE Role Revealed?

WWE

Former 16-time WWE Champion John Cena may have revealed what his future WWE role could possibly be following his in-ring career.

At WWE Crown Jewel 2023, Solo Sikoa defeated John Cena in dominating fashion with 11 Samoan Spikes. Post match, Cena gave a near-tearful goodbye to the fans before leaving. He has not appeared on WWE TV since then.

Speaking with PEOPLE, John Cena was asked about his in-ring future in the company. He answered:

“I turned 47 this past year and I don’t have much time left in the WWE. You know, I’m trying to figure out when to close that chapter.”

“I wouldn’t be who I am — professionally or personally — without the WWE, and I promised myself that I would never simply just be there for my own sake.”

“Every time I perform, I want to give my all to the audience. And I’ve got to admit when I hit the 45 mark, I had to begin to try to form an exit strategy and I’m trying to work on that currently.”

“I just want to do what’s best for the company. If it’s a big final match or if it’s just a final match, or however I can be integrated into the product to let everyone know that this chapter is over, I’m willing to listen to what WWE has to say.”

On possibly becoming a mentor or coach in WWE following his in-ring retirement, Cena said:

“I do have almost two and a half decades of wisdom built up where I think I can offer a mentor perspective for sure.”

“So, if I am not integrated with the WWE family moving forward and in perpetuity, then I think it’s a waste for everyone involved,”

John Cena has reacted to The Rock’s return match tease for Roman Reigns on the “Day One” edition of WWE Raw, which you can read here.
