Top WWE Star Says He’s On ‘Same Road As John Cena’ Regarding Future WWE

Former multi-time WWE World Champion CM Punk says he’s on the same road as John Cena, regarding his in-ring future.

On the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, John Cena made his return to the company and announced his entry into the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

This will mark the start of Cena’s retirement tour that will go throughout the rest of the year.

Speaking with WWE’s Jackie Redmond, CM Punk discussed his pro wrestling future and compared it to John Cena’s current retirement tour. He said:

“I feel great right now. I definitely don’t feel like there is a looming doomsday clock over my head or anything like that. But saying that I also do realize, based on what happened in the last Royal Rumble, that this could all end in a heartbeat.”

“I never know when my last match is going to be, and you see guys like John Cena doing a full-blown retirement tour. I look at myself like I’m on the same road as John, maybe just not egotistical enough to announce to everybody, ‘Hey, this is it.’”

“But I’m not setting a limit on anything. I am just doing my best to bulletproof myself on a daily basis, work as hard on recovery as I do in the gym and in the ring, and not make this twilight of my career extend beyond what people expect of me.”

“I don’t want to twist in the wind and just be some old guy. I think I get criticized an unfair amount, but it’s because I don’t dye my beard. I don’t dye my hair. I 100% embrace it. To me, these grays, I’ve earned them.”

“These just tell stories. It’s the roads I’ve traveled, the bumps and bruises I’ve taken, and the injuries I’ve survived. My face is a roadmap. I would not remove a scar. I wouldn’t dye my hair, dye my beard.”

Both CM Punk and John Cena will compete in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble at the titular event this Saturday, February 1.
