Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena spoke with Good Morning America about various topics, including his decision to retire at the end of his current WWE run and his commitment to that retirement.
Cena said, “You intrinsically know when your instinct says I’m a step slower and it’s then just a battle of how long do I fight those red flags before it could be counterproductive. I still look good, I still feel good, I still feel like I can perform at a WWE level, but I also think it’s time for me to step aside and let the young talent step forward. I think nobody thought I was serious and now that we’re halfway through and people really understand that my last match is in December and it is time for me to move on, the audiences have been electric, like the programming has been riveting.”
On whether there is a chance he will return to the ring once he retires:
“There’s no way. I don’t want to speak in absolutes because I don’t want to close any opportunity but I made a promise to the fans who have allowed me to be here for a quarter of a century… I wouldn’t want to disrespect them like that.”
