John Cena: WWE Farewell Won’t Be Bittersweet
Cena recently discussed his farewell tour. Speaking with ExtraTV, he noted that it would be fun, not bittersweet.
“It’s gonna be fun, and not bittersweet for me. It’s gonna be fun,” John Cena said. “I’m so grateful that I’m in a position where I still have my health and I’m able to carve out a large section of time and perform for a year, from January until December, and give everyone also a head’s up. A lot of times in WWE, sometimes injuries force retirement all of the sudden, so one day you’re there and the next day, you’re gone. Or sometimes you say you’re retiring and it’s part of the bit, you want to attack somebody and get a shot at the champion.”
