John Cena on Him Not Hand Picking His Final Opponent & Leaving Decision Up To WWE

Wednesday’s episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon featured John Cena as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Cena’s thoughts about him not handpicking who will be the final opponent for his retirement match and leaving the decision up to WWE.

“No, no. I’ve never operated like that. I’ve just always kind of been reliable, showing up, and doing whatever I’m asked. And I really want this tour to be, not only special — it’ll always be special for me because you guys [the fans] are out there — I want it to be special for the business. My goal has always been to leave WWE better than I found it. So whoever they deem appropriate to get that energy, man, I’m cool with that.”

Cena also gave his thoughts about his retirement tour and him not wanting to take any time away from the younger wrestlers who are making their mark in WWE today.

“I also remember when I was a young kid back in 2002 thinking I’d never get a chance. And then when I did, I came up with like a young, hungry class. And I think if I hang around any longer than now, I’m just taking time away from those young guys who can be the next chance to make an impact. It’s time, man. It’s time.”
