WWE legend John Cena quashes retirement speculation and insists he will NEVER quit Vince McMahon’s wrestling promotion
The 41-year-old has appeared less for the promotion over the last year, focusing on his acting career outside the ring
JOHN CENA has quashed rumours he is set to retire from wrestling – insisting he will NEVER leave the WWE.
The 41-year-old has appeared less and less for Vince McMahon's promotion over the last year, focusing on his acting career outside the ring.
But the SmackDown Live legend has vowed to continue appearing at pay-per-views and historic events but on a lesser scale.
Cena, who is a 16-time world champion, told Wrestling Inc: “I feel the most healthy I’ve ever felt in my life.
“Bat full disclosure, I can’t run the full demanding schedule at 41 years old that current WWE Superstars do.
“They go everyday, all the time and it is a young man’s game. I’m 41 and performing 310 times a year isn’t what’s best for my overall health.

“I wanna be able to run the streets at 80 instead of hobbling around. I’m at a point in my life where I need to think long-term.
“That doesn’t mean I’m leaving the WWE.
“I’ll never leave the WWE, it’s my home. But I have to think about long-term health and right now this is probably the best play for me.”
