John Cena

What would you like to do?

I'd like to go watch younger talent perform and critique them.

That's what I enjoy doing on my time off.

So I'll always be around it.

Gosh, maybe if my actions set an example for this class, hopefully my actions about political behavior over the course of 23 years have set an example.

I can tell you in my perspective alone, I don't know if this is truth, but from my perspective, there is a lot less political activity now, 2025, than when I started in 2002.

So I can't say it's done, but I can say it's greatly minimized.

And if that's because of me, great.

If it's not, great, because that's what I wanted in the first place.

So maybe as the first wrestler who actually retires, I set a precedent for young people to be like, man, I want to strive to give it like two decades and then go out, like go out the biggest way I can.

It's also a different business model for athletes.

do you keep holding on for one more and then one more and then one more or take a look within yourself and be like, man, I can give you guys like the best year I can.

It's like, oh, it shouldn't have ended like that.

But,

But it should have because that's what you want.

Like, I do not blame any performer for wanting to continue to get out there.

It's beautiful, man.

I'm going to miss it so much.

But I've seen it.

Yeah.
