Professional legend John Cena surprised fans inside of Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Saturday night by walking to the ring with a special announcement.
The wrestling legend then took the mic and made his future wrestling plans known at WWE’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view event.
“Why am I here?” Cena began, as fans started cheering. “Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from the WWE,” Cena said, as the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
The 47-yead-old Cena, a record 16-time world champion, will take the ring in the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania one final time next year before calling it a career.
Cena is always must-see television when he contends, but 2025 will be even more meaningful as the wrestling legend takes center stage for one final time.
