John Cena revealed he was signed contract extension with WWE post his retirement
The 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena recently appeared on Club Shay Shay show. He revealed that he has signed a contract extension with WWE, meaning his final match may not end his association with the promotion.
He stated, “I have such a trustworthy relationship with them. Over two decades. I am a champion of the brand. I love the company. It is my home. They are my family. Even after 2025, I’ve already signed an extension to remain a member of the WWE family for the near, mid, and long-term future. I don’t think there will be a beat of my heart where WWE blood doesn’t come out of it.”
While John Cena is set to retire next year, his recent revelation about his contract extension suggests that fans will likely continue to see the Leader of the Cenation making appearances on WWE shows in non-wrestling capacities even after his retirement.
