John Cena Says His WWE Journey Is Far From Over

John Cena took some time out of his busy schedule to reflect on the anniversary of his WWE debut back 17 years ago.

Cena made his WWE TV debut on an episode of SmackDown in 2002 by answering WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle’s open challenge. There is a lot of history between these two stars but this was the most remembered by fans. The former WWE Champion took to his official Twitter account where he posted the following: 

At the WrestleMania 35 pay-per-view event in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium on the WWE Network, Angle called it a career when he lost to Baron Corbin in his retirement match.

Before Corbin was announced as his opponent, there were several fans including Angle who wanted it to be Cena to share the squared circle in Angle’s farewell match. However, that wasn’t the case. 

Cena was last seen on WWE programming when he appeared at WrestleMania 35 to do a segment with Elias. He’s been away while focusing on his acting career.

Cena has his next Hollywood gig booked as he serves as the host the revival of “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” He’ll also have a role in the next Fast & Furious film.
