World Wrestling Entertainment icon John Cena says he's calling it quits in 2025 after a momentous 20-year career.
Cena – who won the WWE championship belt a whopping 16 times -- made his startling announcement during Saturday's Money in the Bank event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.As he stood in the ring with a mic in hand, Cena addressed the packed crowd, telling them, “Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from WWE.”
Suddenly, the audience began chanting, “No!" while flashing hand gestures to reflect their disappointment before going silent.Cena continued, saying he'd been with WWE for two decades and had seen it all. He said WWE was currently going through its most prosperous period – but he also recalled some bad times when"nobody wants to be your friend and only the most dedicated fans stand by your side.
After promising to be involved in that venture, Cena told everyone that next year's Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas would mark his final WWE appearance. Then he thanked his many supporters, who clapped and shouted,"Thank you Cena."After the Money in the Bank event, Cena took questions at a press conference, somewhat clarifying his position on why he retired. He said it was not up to him, but he approached WWE executives with the idea.
