John Cena has announced that he will retire from WWE in 2025, with a retirement tour set to kick off in January 2024, featuring approximately 36 dates. Contrary to expectations, Cena described his decision to retire as 'very easy' and emphasized the finite nature of a wrestling career, stating, 'This thing, this doesn’t last. It has to end.' He aims to create meaningful experiences for fans during his farewell tour, reminiscing about his journey from a passion project to a professional vocation. Speculation surrounds his potential pursuit of a 17th world championship, although Cena insists he wants to earn any title shot rather than be handed an opportunity. Cena's decision reflects a gradual shift away from in-ring performances since 2017, focusing more on acting and other projects while minimizing physical wear and tear. As he prepares for his final year, Cena hopes to leave a lasting legacy and connect with fans one last time.
