John Cena has been in the professional wrestling business for decades now, but he’s getting ready to wrap up his career. The former WWE Champion recently kicked off his farewell tour which is set to conclude at the end of 2025.
Throughout John Cena’s run with WWE he’s picked up a number of victories over some of the biggest names in the business. Once Cena finally solidified himself as the face of the company he rarely lost, and fans started to grow tired of seeing the same result.
Cena recently reflected on that period of his career during a recent interview with Collider, and he explained why it was necessary for him to pick up so many wins during that era.
“One of the biggest hang-ups in the middle portion of my career was that, spoiler alert, John wins. What people don’t understand is, I think now, maybe, as we begin to reflect back here on this last run of like, ‘Hey, man, I was in it for the long haul.”
“The way you make those losses impactful is sometimes you’ve got to win, and sometimes you’ve got to win a lot. Any time you can pass energy on to somebody, that’s kind of the life cycle of the business. You come in an unknown and, hopefully, you get the flywheel spinning, you create all this energy on your way out, you pay it forward, you pass it off.”
John Cena will be returning to the ring in a few weeks as it’s been confirmed that he will be entering the 30 man Royal Rumble match on February 1st.
