John Cena openly admits that he is becoming too old to be a full time professional wrestler.
Cena has been acting for quite some time now as his main career path, while he has remained a part of WWE he has not been a full time competitor for quite some time.
While speaking to Busted Open Radio, Cena would explain that while he would love to be with WWE every day, his body cannot hold up.
“I wish I was still there every day, it’s just my body can’t do it anymore and I don’t wanna give the consumer a bad product. That’s another thing that I learned from those veterans. At the time, guys like Eddie (Guerrero) would just risk so much [just in the name of not] giving the consumer a bad product. I don’t care how I feel, I don’t care how I feel physically, I don’t care what baggage I have mentally, when I’m on, they paid good money and I’m gonna go out there and give everything I have and sometimes find it when it’s not there. I’m at a point where everything I have, in comparison to the bar that’s been set… what I have is what you saw at WrestleMania 39. That’s what I feel confident that I can deliver, and that’s really nice for here and there, but that’s not every day in WWE. Sports entertainment has raised the bar and I’m humble enough to say that’s awesome, because you’re supposed to leave it better than you found it,”

Cena recently returned for a match at WrestleMania 39 but was unable to capture the WWE United States Championship from Austin Theory at the event.
