John Cena Confirms Pivots Were Made For Retirement Tour Plans

A recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show featured Cena as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cena’s thoughts about his past final year as an in-ring wrestler.

“We can sit here and chatter about what could have been or we can react to what is, and we can go like hell to make what is great. What I love about the whole year now, and this is something we can reflect on, the whole year was an intentional year-long story. Some moments folks liked, some they hated, some you wished they panned out differently. That’s like a microcosm of someone’s existence. You look at 23 years of John Cena in WWE, ‘Man, I wish some moments were different. I wish he had this opponent more. Why didn’t they book you in this angle? Why did you ever do this?’ It is a microcosm for what I’ve done. I love the fact that, through it all, fans loved it and hated it. Just like me. ‘Let’s go Cena.’ ‘Cena sucks.’ This last year has been like a compacted version of ‘Let’s go Cena.’ ‘Cena sucks,’ and the realization of it’s almost not me, it’s all of us. We’re all getting all of our emotions out. I never put a lot of focus on what could have been. If someone chooses to bail or we no longer have this option, that’s fine,” he said.

Cena also confirmed that pivots were made for various reasons to the original plans for his retirement tour in WWE.

“I love the fact that there have been so many pivots. AJ was a pivot. Brock was a pivot. Post-WrestleMania, all that stuff, was a pivot. Because of the pivot, I got Punk, I got to work with Logan in a singles match, I got Dom, I got AJ, Ron Cena, Sami Zayn, Cody at SummerSlam. Because of these pivots. Never once was I like, ‘It could have been this.’ Look what we got.”
