John Cena Talks Retirement, Molding Talent & More

John Cena recently spoke with the Wall Street Journal to promote his role in the new comedy movie Sisters. Here’s what he said about his eventual retirement from the ring:

“I’ve always sworn to myself that if I can’t keep up with the current level athletically, it’s my time to take another role, whether that’s commentating on the matches or stepping behind the curtain and molding younger talent,” Cena said.

“I always want to do whatever I can to help the industry. I see firsthand how happy we make kids and families. When you get a kid to sit down and have a conversation with [their] Superman, it’s the coolest thing. It makes their day. That’s a pretty cool, unique thing.”

Cena has been away from WWE television since Hell in a Cell back in October and is scheduled to return to the ring later this month.
