John Cena made his WWE television debut in June of 2002, and his in-ring career is set to come to an end this weekend when he faces off against Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Even though Cena won’t be wrestling after Saturday he has confirmed that he will still be a part of WWE.
While talking about his future with WWE during an interview with Tom Rinaldi, John Cena revealed that he signed a five year contract that will keep him with the company as an ambassador.
“I will be an ambassador [for] the WWE. I’m already signed on for another five years. I was like ‘Please, as long as you can do it.’ I would like to be in this family as an employee, as a contributing part for as long as I can.”
While talking about the type of work he’ll be doing when he becomes an ambassador for WWE, Cena said, “I’m looking forward to the second mountain of being an ambassador because maybe ambassadorship comes with letting more people know to watch this, which was my goal in the first place. Maybe mentorship to talent that I wouldn’t have time to spend the time with, where I can sit and be like, ‘OK, who are you really? How do I get the rapping moment on the bus?’ Because I want that guy on TV, or I want that girl on TV. I’m looking forward to that stuff.”
