John Cena has shocked WWE for the second year in a row as he makes a surprise appearance at Money In The Bank.

Reports had made the rounds prior to Money In The Bank that John Cena was in Toronto but it was not known if the sixteen-time champion of the world was there on business. As it turns out, that’s exactly what he was there for.

The host of Money In The Bank, WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus appeared after Sami Zayn had retained his Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker and introduced the crowd to John Cena.

Cena got straight down to business in the ring but the surprises didn’t end there. John Cena said he was at Money In The Bank to officially announce his retirement from WWE.

Cena paid tribute to the Canadian fans for always being loud at shows whether WWE has been hot or cold over the years and explained that’s why Toronto was the perfect place to make his shock announcement.
