In a candid new interview with Entertainment Tonight, WWE legend John Cena offered insight into his mindset as he approaches what could be a major turning point in his career later this year.

When asked about what lies ahead, Cena shared a measured and introspective response.

โ€œIโ€™ll know when I get there,โ€ he said, referring to his uncertain long-term future. โ€œHonestly, itโ€™s a sports clichรฉ, but Iโ€™m climbing the hill in front of me. On the WWE side, weโ€™re just taking it one at a time.โ€

Cena recently competed at a WWE live event in St. Louis, where he faced longtime rival Randy Orton in what many considered a symbolic closing chapter to their storied 25-year rivalry.

โ€œWe did our last one in St. Louis, I had my last match with Randy Orton, and that was pretty cool to kind of put a close on that 25-year rivalry. As every chapter happens, itโ€™s a different feeling for everyone.โ€

Looking ahead to December 2025, a timeframe that has been widely speculated as a possible end point for Cenaโ€™s in-ring career, the 16-time world champion made it clear heโ€™s not rushing to any final decisions.

โ€œThere is a long way until December,โ€ Cena concluded. โ€œIโ€™ll let you know when I get there.โ€

Cenaโ€™s farewell tour is currently ongoing, with appearances planned throughout the year. As always, the WWE Universe continues to watch closely, knowing that every appearance from โ€œThe Face That Runs the Placeโ€ may be one of his last.
