John Cena: No More In-Ring Bumps, Focused on Ambassador Role and John Cena Classic

John Cena says his in-ring retirement is real — and permanent — stressing there will be “no fall downs” as he transitions into a WWE ambassador role. Cena told The Takedown that he won’t take any physical bumps or return to wearing ring gear, instead appearing in a suit at recent events like WrestleMania and Backlash while helping launch initiatives such as Club WWE.

Cena is actively shaping the John Cena Classic, an All-Star Game-style event that will pit main roster talent against NXT stars with a fan-voting component to choose the show’s champion, even if that wrestler lost their match. He says WWE CEO Nick Khan and Paul “Triple H” Levesque have been open-minded as they refine the concept and logistics, though no date or location has been announced yet.
