John Cena compares movie stunts to WWE, announces 2025 retirement tour

John Cena, known for his successful WWE career, has successfully transitioned into acting, particularly with his role as Peacemaker in DC Studios productions. In a recent interview, Cena discussed the differences between performing in professional wrestling and acting in movies.

Cena explained that in movies, fight scenes are choreographed to appear as if hits are missing for safety reasons. This allows for scenes to be filmed in segments and pieced together later. In contrast, live wrestling performances require real physical contact and can’t be edited. Cena expressed a preference for the “magic” of cinema, appreciating the ability to create impressive choreography without the risk of actual physical harm.

While Cena continues to build his Hollywood career, he hasn’t forgotten his wrestling roots. He recently announced plans for a retirement tour in WWE scheduled for 2025. This tour will give fans a final chance to see Cena perform in the wrestling ring before he fully commits to his acting career.
