John Cena made a big announcement on Saturday night during a WWE event in Toronto. He revealed that he will be retiring from professional wrestling after the 2025 season. This news was met with disappointment from fans in the stadium, as Cena has been a beloved figure in the wrestling world for over two decades.
During his speech, Cena expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support throughout his career. He promised to embark on a farewell tour with numerous dates and to have an epic final fight before hanging up his wrestling boots. Despite retiring from in-ring competition, Cena assured fans that he will still be involved with the WWE, the organization that kickstarted his career.
In a press conference following the event, Cena mentioned that he feels like he is reaching his physical limits. However, he emphasized that this does not mean he will be completely stepping away from the sport that he loves. Cena is a 16-time WWE champion who rose to fame in the early 2000s as the “Doctor of Thuganomics,” a character known for his rapping skills and flashy persona.
Aside from his wrestling career, Cena has also found success in Hollywood. He has starred in movies such as “Blockers,” “The Suicide Squad,” and has made appearances in the “Fast & Furious” franchise. Most recently, he appeared in the comedy thriller “Argylle” and the popular film “Barbie.”
As Cena prepares to bid farewell to the wrestling world, fans can expect to see him go out with a bang in the 2025 season. While it will be the end of an era for Cena as a wrestler, his impact on the sport and entertainment industry will undoubtedly be felt for years to come.
