WWE legend John Cena has had one of the most decorative careers in the company’s history. Cena fought more than 2000 matches for the promotion and won 25 championships, including 16 World Championships. The Cenation leader almost defined the ruthless aggression era. While her Hollywood career caused him to sacrifice his full-time tenure, he’s still yet to hang up his boots officially.

Cena didn’t let his decision to cut down his WWE schedule go in vain, as the former champion established himself as one of the most in-demand Hollywood actors. He followed in the footsteps of The Rock to join the iconic $5.6 billion Fast and Furious franchise last year. Now, Dominic Toretto’s half-brother’s next fast-and-furious project, Fast X is all set to release.

The Champ shut them up by comparing them to those who questioned WWE matches’ worth since it’s scripted.

Cena noted,

‘Having just performed in 39th WrestleMania, My philosophy is as long as it good yeah it that’s all that matters and fast can continuously and yeah you got box office data to back it up continuously entertains The world’s installation after installation so I think anyone who says do we really need another one I compare it to a fan who says but isn’t wrestling fake they just don’t understand what we do and that just don’t understand what this is about.

What’s the future of Cena’s WWE career?

Regarding Cena’s latest bout during WrestleMania 39, many expect him to get the win. But WWE put the young Theory over him. Following the defeat, there has been large speculation regarding Cena’s wrestling future. While Cena previously articulated his wish to beat Ric Flair’s record by winning his 17th championship before retiring, his recent record doesn’t speak so. ‘Let’s go, Cena’ is slowly becoming milder day by day, with his wrestling career winding down rapidly amid other pursuits.

The wrestling world has who is the man that can retire the iconic ruthless era star in the near future. It looks like AEW’s CM Punk can make the perfect final opponent for the 46-year-old. The duo had butt heads several times before and delivered some amazing displays of crafts. Despite being fierce rivals, the duo has genuine respect for each other in real life.
