We’re only days away from John Cena’s final match which means emotions are running high for many of Cena’s fans around the world. While Cena has made it clear that he’s retiring from in-ring competition, he has indicated that he will always be a part of the WWE family.
During a recent interview with Bill Simmons, John Cena confirmed he will still make appearances at WWE events after he retires. However, he will look different as he plans to wear a suit and tie as opposed to the jorts, t-shirt, hat combination he typically sports on WWE programming.
“You’ll see me at WWE events. I’m going to be involved as long as they will have me until I am need to until I need to be replaced. But I will look like this [wearing a suit and tie].”
Bill Simmons brought up the possibility of Cena possibly becoming a commentator after his in-ring career is over, but the 17 time world champion indicated that’s unlikely to happen.
“I would love to do it [be a commentator]. I think the announcing crew we have now. I’m such a big fan of Stu Bennett, aka Wade Barrett. I think he’s carving out an excellent legacy for himself. I know Michael Cole’s getting a little long in the tooth. He’s probably wanting to move on. I would love to sit at the table. I think we have — and I love listening to Big E call. You have to have the time to regularly commit to be an announcer. Like, I know Pat McAfee struggled with that. He split himself in a bunch of different directions, and gosh, I don’t blame anybody for going until you can’t go, But, like, he didn’t have it in the tank. Like, he can’t be — you can’t be everywhere at once.”
John Cena will face off against Gunther in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th. Stay tuned for updates.
