Speaking to Good Housekeeping, the 17-time WWE Champion addressed his next goal in the promotion. While he detailed it, Cena also made a shocking statement that the fans must forget him and move on, as he believes the audience needs to invest in new talent, like how they invested in him during his early days.

“My goal for my stay in the business is to leave it better than I found it—and my résumé is a byproduct of that… I know none of us live forever. Nobody remembers anything. People forget about me. So, my hope for the future is that people forget about me… If [the new WWE] stars have enough gravity, have enough relevance, they should be the ones influencing the audience, the people, in the arena… That is my hope, amazingly—that people forget,” Cena said.

He added:

“I’m always a fan first, and I’m finding new ways to become involved in the WWE, through fandom and through organizational purposes… I’ve been lucky enough to be a mentor, to continue to be a mentor. So, there’s a lot of irons in the fire. As far as what the future holds for me in wrestling, it’s my family. I’ll never get away,” Cena said. [H/T – Good Housekeeping]

John Cena made a shocking announcement at WWE Backlash 2026

John Cena might be done with in-ring competition, but it’s very difficult to take the wrestling out of the 17-time WWE World Champion. At Backlash in Florida, Cena made a shocking announcement of a brand-new championship for the promotion and a tournament for the said title, which is called the ‘John Cena Classic.’

Superstars from the developmental brand and the main roster are eligible for the tournament, and fans will decide the winner. As per reports, the tournament will take place at the end of the year. It’ll be interesting to see which star will become the inaugural champion.
