John Cena’s retirement tour kicked off in January and soon it will come to an end. Cena’s final match is currently scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th and he is adamant that he won’t be returning to the ring after he retires.
At this stage of his career Cena is putting a lot of focus on his acting work, but he managed to line up 36 dates for his WWE farewell tour. However, he explained during a recent interview with The Ringer that he originally wanted to do 220 dates.
“The plan originally was to do like a full year. This just goes to show my ignorance of the business. I wanted to do 220 dates. Just take the year off of everything, hop on a bus, do a full WWE calendar, and totally say goodbye. Thank goodness that the business isn’t like that anymore, because I would be, if you took a gingerbread man, just broke him, I’d be done. They only needed me for 36.”
The Last Time Is Now Tournament will be wrapping up next week on Raw as LA Knight and Gunther are set to face off in the finals. The winner of the tournament will then go on to face John Cena in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event next week.
Stay tuned for updates.
