An era ended in WWE when the WWE superstar John Cena announces his retirement today at the WWE Money in the Bank Stage. John Cena is regarded as one of the greatest wrestler of all time in WWE and when he came to the ring at the Money in the Bank, nobody knew that out of nowhere he would announce his retirement. He mentioned that in the 2025 WWE WrestleMania at Las Vegas, he would be competing for the last time in the WWE ring. This news came to the WWE fans like a shock as nobody expected that he would retire so early. John Cena has been wrestling in WWE for quite a while now but still his colleagues such as Brock Lesner, Randy Orton, and The Miz who started their career almost around the same time as John Cena, are still in the WWE and have not yet retired.
Why the WWE Superstar John Cena Announces his Retirement Today at the WWE Money in the Bank Stage?
John Cena has been in and out in WWE for the past few years. Post 2018, the 16-time world champion has not been making his regular appearance in the WWE ring and only performing as a part-time wrestler. This is because he is more inclined towards his acting career. He has been giving some remarkable performances as an actor in Hollywood and been a part of some amazing projects like F9 and Fast X. So this could be one of the primary reasons why he decided to retire from the WWE and focus more on his acting assignments. He will be next seen in the Paul Feig’s JACKPOT movie which is scheduled to release on August, 15th 2024.

Lyrics of John Cena’s current Entrance song “The Time is Now”
Your time is up, my time is now
You can’t see me, my time is now
It’s the franchise, boy I’m shinin now
You can’t see me, my time is now!
In case you forgot or fell off I’m still hot – knock your shell off
My money stack fat plus I can’t turn the swell off
The franchise, doin big bid’ness, I live this
It’s automatic I win this – oh you hear those horns, you finished
A soldier, and I stay under you fightin
Plus I’m stormin on you chumps like I’m thunder and lightning
Ain’t no way you breakin me kid, I’m harder than nails
Plus I keep it on lock, like I’m part of the jail
I’m slaughterin stale, competition, I got the whole block wishin
they could run with my division but they gone fishin –
– with no bait, kid your boy hold weight
I got my soul straight, I brush your mouth like Colgate
In any weather I’m never better your boy’s so hot
you’ll never catch me in the next man’s sweater
If they hate, let ’em hate, I drop ya whole clan
Lay yo’ ass DOWN for the three second TAN
Your time is up, my time is now
You can’t see me, my time is now
It’s the franchise, boy I’m shinin now
You can’t see me, my time is now!
Yeah, uhh
It’s gon’ be what it’s gon’ be
Five pounds of courage buddy, bass tint pants with a gold T
Uhh – it’s a war dance and victory step
A raw stance is a gift, when you insist it’s my rep
John Cena, Trademarc, y’all are so-so
And talk about the bread you make but don’t know the recipe for dough though
Aimin guns in all your photos, that’s a no-no
When this pop, you’ll liplock, your big talk’s a blatant no-show
See what happens when the ice age melt
You see monetary status is not what matters, but it helps
I rock a timepiece by Benny if any
The same reason y’all could love me is the same reason y’all condemn me
A man’s measured by the way that he thinks
Not clothing lines, ice links, leather and minks
I spent 20 plus years seekin knowledge of self
So for now Marc Predka’s livin live for wealth
Your time is up, my time is now
You can’t see me, my time is now
It’s the franchise, boy I’m shinin now
You can’t see me, my time is now!
Your time is up, my time is now
You can’t see me, my time is now
It’s the franchise, boy I’m shinin now
You can’t see me, my time is now!
