Is John Cena saying goodbye to WWE? This question has been bugging the fans for a while now. For weeks now, the 46-year-old superstar and WWE have been dropping tease bombs all over the promotion’s shows. Moreover, the internet hinted that Crown Jewel might have been the last time the fans saw ‘The Champ’ wrestling inside the ropes.

In the build-up to the WWE Crown Jewel event, the 16-time World Champion emphasized how important it was to win his match against Solo Sikoa in Saudi Arabia, implying that it might be his last. Unfortunately, he lost. So does that mean he is going to hang up his boots after a humiliating loss? Let’s explore the possibilities.

Did Solo Sikoa retire John Cena?

If you tuned in to Crown Jewel yesterday, you would know what a heartbreaking and embarrassing night it was for Cena. On SmackDown before the PLE, he claimed he would beat his opponent, but failed to do so. He was the recipient of multiple Samoan Spike to the throat, which eventually led to his downfall at the hands of his opponent.

After the match ended and the superstars made their way backstage, WWE commentator Michael Cole commented, ‘Now will Solo Sikoa’s record show that he was the one who retired John Cena.’ Even Cena’s body language looked as if he was ready to retire as he made his way backstage.

In addition, going to his IG account, he shared a photograph of David Beckham during his retirement match with PSG in 2013, suggesting his departure from the wrestling industry. However, despite all the indications, there still might be a chance that he may not say goodbye to the WWE Universe just yet.

Cena might be staying with WWE a little longer

‘The Prototype’ hasn’t won a televised singles match in two years. The last time he defeated his opponent in a one-on-one bout was in 2018. It was against Triple H at The Greatest Royal Rumble in April 2018. Considering this fact, Cena may not want to end his journey with WWE with such poor statistics.

A wrestler would want to retire in a special way. So there is still a chance that he might stay in WWE a little more while just to get himself the farewell he deserves. As far as the hints and implications of retirement are concerned, it can merely be a means of escape for Cena in case the Hollywood strike ends.

The WWE veteran has been in the promotion for 21 years. Despite being a part-time wrestler for a few years, he has managed to maintain his score of having at least one match a year. What are your thoughts on Cena’s retirement? Let us know in the comments below.
