It seems that despite walking away from the ring, he has made more appearances now than when he was an active star, and recently spoke to Sports Illustrated’s Takedown Podcast, where he revealed all about his recent retirement.

“This new crop of extra talented superstars come up that are performing at a speed like the game just looks too fast for me… because it is. You’re right. I could change my style, but at the risk of ruining that energy that WWE invested in me. And that’s tough because from an ego standpoint, you got to step away from the audience. I love the audience. It’s great. But man, that’s not respectful to the fans and it’s not respectful to the company. It’s also not respectful to new talent trying to get an opportunity. Step aside. Let the young superstars come up.”

It seems that the former World Champion made the choice to walk away because he was forced out of the door by modern changes to the business.

Stars are coming up through the ranks in WWE at the moment who were faster, stronger, and could perform at a higher level than Cena, and he himself noted that when he felt like he could no longer go, he would walk away.

John Cena has recently announced the “John Cena Classic.”

Despite it still being a rough plan, Cena appeared at Backlash a few weeks ago to announce that a Classic that bore his name would take place in WWE.

It seems that his Saturday Night’s Main Event, which pitted some of the stars of the future against the stars of the present, had given him the idea that this could become an event of its own.

It’s clear that this is still something that WWE is ironing out, because there is no date for the event and there is no platform announced for it either, with recent reports suggesting that Netflix is interested, which means it could be its own standalone event.

WWE has a number of PLE’s every year, so this could be another one for the company to put together.
