John Cena is contemplating how to end his WWE career and what’s next.
With 16 World Championships, 22 years on the main roster and capturing just about every accolade there is to achieve, Cena is very aware that he doesn’t have many matches left in him. However, that doesn’t mean that the Hollywood star wants to leave the company entirely.
Speaking with People Magazine, Cena once again confirmed that he is looking to write the final chapter in his historic career and wants to elevate the company in the process:
“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.”
With more than 20 years of experience, Cena has a wealth of knowledge that he is able to pass down to the next generation. Continuing the interview, Cena hopes that WWE still wants him to pass this wisdom down for many more years to come:
“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,”
