John Cena has been a part time WWE worker for a number of years now, thus his ongoing run is his longest in a long time. The Cenation Leader has given fans a lot of memories since his SmackDown return, and they are loving it.
But one thing that the audience is worried about is whether the 16-time World Champion is going to end his in-ring career soon. Addressing the entire situation about this speculation, John recently talked about his future plans. He also revealed if he’s going to retire after his current stint with the promotion.
This happened during the October 4 episode of WWE’s The Bump show, as the legend appeared as a guest on the show. While talking about his retirement rumors, and also if there’s any truth behind them, Cena said that he’s confident that he’s not done with WWE.
John Cena says that he’s confidently not done with WWE yet after this current run but is fighting the ticking clock:

The 46-year-old said, “Selfishly I said I wanted to make sure it’s not time to go yet and I confidently believe that I’m not done but I do believe that we’re all fighting that ticking clock and mine has less seconds than most other people in the locker room.”
The Cenation Leader’s comments about the rumors about his in-ring career have confirmed that he’s not yet retiring. But they make it clear that the WWE legend knows that not much time is left in the industry. How well can he fare in his final years in the pro wrestling world? Only the future knows the answer.
John Cena is set to compete at WWE Fastlane
Even though talks about Cena’s retirement have been going on for years, he hasn’t backed off from challenges. In a similar way, John Cena is set to make an in-ring appearance to compete at WWE’s Fastlane 2023 PLE.
After issues with Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso, Cena was set to team up with AJ Styles on October 7. But as Solo took out The Phenomenal One a few weeks ago, the legend was left without a partner.
However, LA Knight came to the aid of John on last week’s SmackDown and signed the contract for the match. Thus, now The Cenation Leader will team up with the 41-year-old superstar for his tag match against The Bloodline members.
Does John Cena have a partner? YEAH! 🔥

Due to the starpower this encounter has, it is a front-running candidate to main event Fastlane. But even if it doesn’t, there’s no doubt that the match will be epic. It remains to be seen who comes out on top during this high-profile match at Saturday’s premium live event.
