After the show, at a post-event press conference, Cena explained his decision to retire further, stressing that he was not taking a break but making an outright departure from in-ring wrestling. He confirmed that he would still be associated with WWE in another manner while hinting at “an extensive schedule” running from January to September 2025.
“Two years later, they come back, and yet these people say they are walking away. Just so you know, that’s enough; I am not going back, Dyuuna.” Cena said. In a bid to end his wrestling career gracefully, Cena stated, “If you ever wanted to be a part of this one last time, we’re going to do it as big as we can, and we’re fighting everybody, and we hope you come to enjoy the fun.

In WWE, within two decades, Cena has competed against other big names, among them Kurt Angle, Triple H, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. With 16 world titles under his belt, he remains one of the most prolific and well-liked fighters globally.

Although Cena’s acting career has been highly successful, with roles in major films such as “Bumblebee,” “F9: The Fast Saga,” and “The Suicide Squad,” his presence in the ring has declined. Cena is still a force to be reckoned with in WWE and a darling among its faithful.

Many have come before me, and many more will come later after me. Cena reflected on his illustrious career, saying, “I guess all that is left now is a word of thanks before the end of this chapter.”
