John Cena Wants To Return To The WWE Before Christmas For One Final Run Before Retirement

The franchise wants one final run soon.

At WrestleMania 40, John Cena made a surprise appearance to aid Cody Rhodes against the Bloodline in the main event between Rhodes and former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns.

During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, this is what Cena had to say regarding one final run in the WWE.

“I’ve speculated a lot about when it is that I hang up the Jorts. It wasn’t last night and I still have a little bit of rubber left on the tires,” he said. “When that time is done, that means it’s gone. I’m actively trying to craft that path right now. I put a line in the sand for myself at 50. I honestly think it’s going to be before that. I’ll be 47 in a few weeks. Many are calling this the greatest WrestleMania ever. I agree, what a spectacle. That’s because of the talent that actually put the time in. I showed up for 90 seconds. This is the greatest WrestleMania with or without my involvement. That’s because of the now, the superstars we have now and their contributions to the business. It is going to be time for me to go. I’m embracing that, enjoying it, and it allows me to be present.”

“[Hollywood commitments] will take me through just about Christmas. I’m crossing my fingers, toes, and heart so that maybe, just maybe, I can tell the Hollywood world to pump the brakes for a while and come back to my family for one last run. I hope, I don’t know. I hope, I’m trying, we’ll see what happens,” he said.

Cena has been able to wrestle a match every year since 2002. He recently broke his losing streak on the Raw after WrestleMania, defeating the Judgement Day alongside The Miz and R-Truth.
