“Guys Like Eddie Would Risk So Much”: John Cena Cites Tragic Death of WWE Legend Eddie Guerrero While Offering Sad Update on WWE Future

For more than a decade, John Cena was the top guy in WWE. Whether it was 16 world championships or having iconic feuds with The Rock, Randy Orton, or Edge, Cena had done it all. But, like in every profession, especially in a physically demanding one like wrestling, there comes a time when the body slows down. Now, after his steadily growing Hollywood stardom, there’s no reason for Cena to continue with WWE. Yet he still shows up every year to put on a match, regardless. But he might have finally announced the end of his glorious run as a professional wrestler.

Remembering Eddie Guerrero’s work ethic, John Cena smashes the hopes of WWE fans

Hopping on the Busted Open podcast, Cena came on to talk about his newest movie, Fast X, and his decorated wrestling career. While talking about passing the torch during his last years, Cena opened up about his wrestling career moving forward.

He said, “Guys like Eddie would just risk so much. I’m never gonna give the consumer a bad product. I don’t care how I feel physically. Don’t care what baggage I have mentally. When I’m out there, they paid good money, and I’m gonna give everything I have and sometimes find it when it’s not there.”

While there are many legends who have been working for more years than Cena in WWE, every wrestler is different and it takes a lot of effort to get in shape to wrestle. Also, Cena did wrestle non-stop for WWE for well over a decade and has shown signs of slowing down.

So it makes sense that Cena would be stepping down, especially when there’s so much talent in WWE right now. But while talking about wrestling ability, let’s talk about Cena’s last match at WrestleMania 39 against Austin Theory.

How did fans react to John Cena’s last match in WWE?

In the interview, Cena also mentioned that his most recent WrestleMania match was everything he had left in the tank. Looking back at it, while fans lauded Cena’s entrance, they did not give the same love to his match.

Many fans called it absolute trash and hoped more from The Champ. But as Cena said in the interview, he can’t give anymore, not at those levels he used to.

Cena citing Eddie Guerrero here is important, as the late WWE Champion would put his body on the line week in and week out until it started taking a toll on him but he didn’t stop. Cena fans will hope that the 16-time world champion keeps himself fit both mentally and physically and if he doesn’t return to the ring again, they have enough memories of The Champ to last a lifetime.
