Sundiata Post – WWE icon John Cena has announced when he will retire from in-ring action.
The 47-year-old wrestler turned Hollywood actor made a surprise appearance at the promotion’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view event in Toronto on Saturday night.
He revealed that he would retire next year following a tour that includes appearances at key shows Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania.
Donning a ‘John Cena Farewell Tour 2025’, the WWE legend said, “I’ve been in the WWE for over two decades and in that time, I’ve seen incredible waves of prosperity like we got right now.
“WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt, but I have also seen true hardship, that’s when no one knows your name, nobody wants to be your friend and only the most dedicated and hardcore fans stand by your side.”
He also stated that he hopes to be engaged when Raw premieres on Netflix in January.
Cena made his WWE debut in 2002. However, since 2018, he has taken on a more part-time position in the organization to focus on his film career.
