John Cena Will Do Something No WWE Star Has Ever Done

John Cena on WWE Raw

John Cena made a huge promise to the WWE Universe.

The Franchise Player has been on his farewell tour for the past seven months. The 48-year-old Undisputed WWE Champion’s career is set to end in mid-December.

In a recent interview with This Morning, John Cena discussed his retirement plans. He pointed out that he had made a promise to step away when he felt he had lost a step.

The wrestling legend added that the wrestling industry has allowed him to perform in front of “crazy crowds,” hence, he wanted to do something different. He claimed that while no WWE star is ever retired, he plans to be the first to hang up his boots for good.

I understand the entertainment industry may have set an ambiguous standard about what retirement is. I’m 48 years old, and I made a promise when I started getting success in WWE way back around in 2004. I promised the audience when I felt I lost a step, it was time to step away.

The industry has allowed me to perform in front of crowds, like the crazy crowds in the O2, for 25 years. I just wanted to do something different. No WWE Superstar is ever really retired. So this is for sure the end for me. [6:15 onwards]

WWE Analyst Wants Bron Breakker To Beat John Cena In His Final Match

In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on INSIGHT, WWE analyst Sam Roberts proposed a scenario where John Cena would square off with Bron Breakker in his final WWE match in December.

The 41-year-old suggested that the Leader of the Cenation should lose the match before celebrating his career with the babyfaces inside the ring.

The very last match is whatever that is, maybe the Saturday Night’s Main Event in Boston is the rumor, and I would like it to just be old school. I’m talking Bret Hart, Terry Funk, I mean, literally not kill John Cena.

Bron Breakker just gets him with a small package. 123, John Cena made one mistake. Bron Breakker wins. Bron Breakker gets to celebrate. And then, because John Cena didn’t get killed, we can then still have a moment for the heels to leave and the babyfaces can come out and congratulate John. [H/T: INSIGHT With Chris Van Vliet]

Cena last defended his Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions against CM Punk. He will now put his title on the line against the recently crowned King of the Ring Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
