John Cena isn’t backing down on his plans to retire from WWE.
Cena appeared on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live and spoke about his plans to retire from in-ring competition. Cena says his last match will be at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13. Since announcing his retirement plans, Cena has maintained that this actually is the end.
Fans have speculated that he could go back on his word and wrestle again, but Cena insists that’s not happening.
“Twenty-three years of performing in WWE and we’re down to our last date. It’s been a crazy year, just to bring everyone but three people in the audience up to speed,” Cena joked, pointing out the audience members who are wearing Cena WWE merchandise. “It’s been a crazy year where I announced this 15 months in advance, I’m going to retire. This has really never been done in WWE history. WWE Superstars don’t always necessarily ‘retire,’ they kinda hang on for one more match.
“I am absolutely, 100 percent done. The 13th of December on Peacock is my last in-ring performance,” Cena said. “I will never wrestle again.”
“But what if you do wrestle again?” Kimmel joked.
“Then… you’ll be able to show this clip on the show and you can call me a liar,” Cena quipped.
John Cena will face the winner of the Last Time Is Now tournament. The bracket has come down to LA Knight and Gunther, with the winner of the tournament final moving on to face Cena.
