A WWE Superstar has set the record straight on his in-ring future. The current Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena, has opened up about his plans to wrap up his retirement tour.
The clock is ticking for The Cenation Leader, as he is already halfway through his farewell tour. He said in January that he's expected to work around 36 dates, which will culminate in December this year.
During the premiere of his upcoming movie, Heads of State, Cena was asked about his plans for his last match in WWE. The Franchise Player confirmed that he will have his final match in mid-December, although the company is still working on it.
"I’m 48. My last match will be in mid-December. We are still trying to find out a place to do it, but I said 36 dates in January. We are halfway through, and gosh, it’s been a lot of compelling TV. I don’t want to spoil it for anybody, but I think we are just getting started."
