John Cena Announces Retirement Tour: WWE Legend to Bid Farewell with 36 Worldwide Shows

Posted at: August 23, 2024 - 8:21 PM

John Cena, the 16-time world champion, has announced his retirement tour for next year, with about 36 dates planned. In an interview, Cena revealed that the decision to retire was easy for him, contrary to what many might assume. He explained that he’s always known his wrestling career would eventually end.

Cena noticed his in-ring performance slowing down around 2017, which was his last year as a full-time WWE performer. Since then, he has reduced his WWE appearances, focusing more on acting and hosting. This shift has helped reduce physical strain on his body and protect his overall health.

The wrestling star emphasized that he started his career out of passion, and now feels it’s time to close this chapter while he can still perform well. Instead of continuing and potentially delivering subpar entertainment, Cena plans to use his retirement tour as a way to thank his fans worldwide for their support throughout his career.

This farewell tour will give Cena the opportunity to express his gratitude to the fans who have shaped his journey, allowing him to travel across the world for a final round of performances and farewells.
