• Jimmy Kimmel Asks John Cena What If He Comes Out Of Retirement After December 13, Cena Responds
John Cena is supposed to retire as an in-ring performer on December 13th. But wrestlers often say they will retire and then return later. Because fans are skeptical, the 17-time World Champion had to make it very clear that he is done wrestling.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cena addressed the persistent disbelief, explaining his rationale for announcing his final match 15 months in advance – an unprecedented move in WWE history.
When host Jimmy Kimmel pressed the issue, directly asking what would happen if Cena returned to wrestle after the December 13th date, Cena gave a definitive response: “Then you’ll be able to show this clip. You can call me a liar.” Cena stressed that he is “absolutely, 100% done” and will never wrestle again after his final bout at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Cena explained that his primary motivation for giving the audience such a lengthy heads-up was to provide a sense of closure, citing the deeply personal connection he built with fans over two decades of constant touring and weekly appearances.
He admitted that the skepticism over his retirement is understandable, given that other WWE Superstars often hold on for “one more match.” However, Cena expressed concern that those who refuse to believe his announcement will ultimately lack the sense of finality they desire.
He concluded by urging everyone to tune in for his final performance to fully process the end of his illustrious career.
