On last week’s episode of WWE RAW, John Cena made a highly-anticipated comeback and was visibly emotional upon hearing the cheers from the live crowd. He got into a heated promo with Austin Theory and eventually agreed to face him in a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 39.
Although many expected John Cena to promote his upcoming WrestleMania 39 match and express gratitude towards his fans, his demeanor upon entering the ring was quite different.
The 16-time World champion took to Twitter and claimed that he felt it may be his last time in front of the WWE universe when he entered the arena and poured out his love for the fans.
This led fans to believe he was going to retire soon. While speaking with AP News, the Leader of Cenation explained the tweet and his intention behind it. Cena made it clear he has no intention of retiring.
“I tried to put it in words in Twitter. I guess I didn’t explain myself correctly. It was the first time I came out into the arena knowing that this has a definitive end. Normally, you come out, you get all excited, OK, this is the next one and I’m waiting for the next one. I’m not done, of course. I made that statement accepting a match at WrestleMania so I know I have at least one more in front of me. But what I was trying to convey was, that was the first time I looked at all that excitement and energy and realized this is the twilight of that journey.”
John Cena
As previously reported, John Cena produced the aforementioned segment himself, as the company trusted him to properly produce the whole segment. We will have to wait and see how WWE will book Cena and Theory’s feud in the coming weeks. After all, fans are looking forward to seeing Cena compete at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.
