John Cena is six months away from retiring as a WWE Superstar.
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena was a recent guest on Stephanie’s Places. While discussing his decision to retire from WWE, Cena made a comparison to his current weight training regimen.
“I used to do a clean and jerk with 330 pounds. That’s a 300-pound snatch. I can’t even do those lifts anymore because my body’s so beat up,” John Cena said. “So as soon as I got through that jagged pill of like, oh man, I’m never gonna overhead press 374 pounds ever again. But let’s work to see what the best I can for today is.
“It’s a very similar course to WWE. My skills are on regress. If I continue at a full-time physical capability or involvement, I’m not going to run right. My partner’s not gonna run right, and our relationship isn’t gonna run right. Sorry, kid, it’s time to close this chapter.
“I wish I was 18, I wish I felt great, because I don’t feel more at home, besides in the arms of my wife, than I do on the canvas. I had to pitch this idea, a real wrestling farewell, and hoping that they would see the business in it. And they were like, yes, this is, this is gonna be good.”
John Cena is scheduled to team with Logan Paul to face Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso next month at Money in the Bank.
