• Top WWE Star Says Wrestling Full-Time Isn’t Good For His Overall Health

During a recent interview with Adam’s Apple, 16 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena explained why he doesn’t want to wrestle a full-time schedule in WWE anymore.

Below is what Cena said:

“Full disclosure I can’t run at the full commanding schedule at 41 years old as a current WWE Superstar. They go every day all the time and it is a young man’s game.

There are some folks out there because of what I’ve said and done in the past they’re like, ‘Oh you’re hypocritical.’ I’m old guys, I’m old. I’m 41 and performing 310 times a year isn’t what’s best for my overall health.

I want to be able to run the streets at 80 instead of hobbling around so I’m at a point in my life where I got to think a little bit long-term. That doesn’t mean I’m leaving WWE.

I’ll never leave WWE, it’s my home but right not I need to think of my overall health and right now this is the best plan for me.”
