John Cena was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and talked about his retirement and Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Below is what John Cena had to say about Saturday Night’s Main Event:
“So, I actually, uh, suggested that instead of like a tribute and spending the whole show based around like, ‘okay this is the past.’ I wanted to have my final match, which I’ll get my chunk of time, and then dedicate the rest of the show to the future. So, if you tune in to Saturday Night’s Main Event on Peacock on the 13th, you’ll see my final in-ring performance, but you’ll also get a grip, uh, you get a look at the major WWE superstars facing future stars. Because the way I came into the business was a major star, a gold medalist was like, ‘open challenge to anyone’, and me, no name, came walking out there and that was the start of this crazy ride.
So, 23 years later, I kind of want to return the favor and you’re going to see some technically minor leaguers step up to the plate. So, I think that’s kind of cool like on the way out to give most of the programming to the future of the business. I’m really excited for that.”
