WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque took part in the 2024 SummerSlam post-show media scrum to talk about a number of topics including where the company is with John Cena right now.
Triple H said, โAs John mentioned, he has sort of an expiration date that he sees, on his career. Heโs going to come back soon, I donโt remember exactly what he said or what we said. Look, John has earned the right in his career to do whatever he wants, when he wants, and Iโm happy to be there for him. I believe that itโs the beginning of the year, John will come back, and itโs sort of like the farewell tour that has an end to it, and Johnโs going to come back and have a blast everywhere he goes, like he always does, but heโs going to come back for the Royal Rumble, and that will be his last Royal Rumble, heโs going to be there for Elimination Chamber, and that will be his last Elimination Chamber, heโs going to be at WrestleMania, and that will be his last WrestleMania, and then it will continue, and by the end of 2025, that will be the end of John Cena. Not in WWE, not in Hollywood for sure, or anything else that he decides to do, but it will be the end of Cena competitive and active in the ring.โ
On Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul being banged up after the show:
โUnfortunately he [Fatu] got a little bit banged up in that last match, Loganโs a little banged up as he should be, and Jacobโs a little banged up, so Iโll see where that nets out here in a little bit, hopefully nothing serious but it was bugging him a little bit, the leg, so weโll see where he is.โ
