John Cena finally reveals the reason behind his WWE retirement

John Cena has just one date left for his WWE retirement.

One of the greatest to have ever graced the squared circle, John Cena, is now slowly moving toward his retirement. With just one date left before he hangs up his boots, Cena recently sat down for an interview with Bill Simmons. Explaining why it is ‘time to move on’, Cena said,

“This is something that I’ve heard a lot this past year. Man, you are going out on your own terms. That’s bulls**t. I want to do it forever.”

“Like, to anyone out there who doesn’t understand what WWE is, just go live. When you step into that building live, it’s just a different energy. I never want to let that go,” Cena continued. “But, my body hurts, I’m a step slower. I promised myself and the fanbase when I started, before I won that first championship, when I am step slower, I’m Out.”

However, Bill Simmons countered that Cena is arguably delivering some of the best matches of his career now to which Cena had the response ready,

“Yeah, but it’s all I have left. That’s people don’t understand. I want to go out at a level that is still passable and in some twinkles, admirable. And, not have to rely on luck.” He further added, “You know, I got one date left. I have given my heart and soul to this year. It has taken a lot to just do 35 dates whereas before I’d do 220 in my sleep. Like, it is time to move on.”

With over two decades and 17 World Championships in this industry, Cena is finally set to retire on the December 13th edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event against either Gunther or LA Knight.
