John Cena is one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling. He has been associated with the WWE since 2002 and has transformed himself into a franchise star for Vince McMahon. But after winning 16 WWE World Championships, Cena has gradually phased himself out from full-time duty as his movie career took off. In his absence, stars like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, and Braun Strowman have taken the mantle from him.
However, it is still unclear if John Cena would ever make a comeback to the WWE. He recently commented that his body “couldn’t handle the WWE schedule anymore.’
So has he retired from professional wrestling? Apparently no.
John Cena has confirmed that he intends to wrestle for the WWE in the future and is never going to walk away from the company.
“I will never walk away from the WWE,” Cena told Willie Geist on NBC’s Sunday Today.
“When do I walk away with a sense of mental and physical sanity?” Cena told Sunday Today.
“I’m right at that precipice.”
“I feel great, I’m in the best shape of my life,” he added. “It’s not that I couldn’t continue, but I think from this point on I run the risk of tipping that balance the wrong way.”
Cena is an iconic name in professional wrestling after years of performing at the top for WWE. However, he confirmed that his body wasn’t able to handle the grueling WWE schedule which demanded him to perform for 250 shows a year.
