John Cena has provided his fans with numerous memorable moments and he is truly the most popular star that emerged post-Attitude Era.Let us consider what career prospects would be appropriate for the Cenation leader if he does decide to retire at the grandest stage of them all next year? How it will influence the future of the company? In which direction will the company move? Here are a few reasons why he should retire at WrestleMania 31.

#5 Hollywood is calling

John Cena

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

With “The Marine”, “12 Rounds” and “Legendary”, he already has shown a lot of potential for acting in films although they weren’t successful at the box office. We have seen how The Rock established himself as a top movie star after leaving WWE at the peak of his career, still his love for the business is same. Cena could work in the same way and create a big name for himself in Hollywood.

#4 He will always be a part of the business

John Cena is the kind of guy who loves the business. It is difficult to imagine Cena completely separate from the company. His involvement will always be there in some form or another. It would be interesting to see him in a different role. How about a General Manager role? People would love to see how he would make those decisions every week. Remember Austin’s run as a Manager after his retirement? It was a great one.

#3 A great WrestleMania moment

John Cena

John Cena has fought some of the most amazing matches in WrestleMania history. He lifted gold on various occasions on the showcase of immortals. His matches with Triple H and Shawn Michaels are considered as the show stealers, while his two time clash with The Rock was a blockbuster for the fans. At this year’s event against Bray Wyatt, he showed WWE fans that Bray is a big star in the making. So is there any WrestleMania moment left for him? Perhaps a final match with Undertaker could possibly be the biggest one. What about a match with Hulk Hogan?

#2 He has done it all

John Cena

Whether it is feuding with top stars of the company, winning the prestigious gold numerous times, involvement in brutal matches or providing lifetime moments, Cena has done it all. There is nothing left for Cena to achieve now. He has an outstanding count of accomplishments in his career. That’s the reason why fans feel no freshness in his work nowadays. He has been on the top of the wrestling food chain for years now, what more can he do?

#1 Need to create future talents

John Cena

Most importantly, it’s high time that the company needs to think beyond Cena and put the upcoming talents on the main event status. We have seen how TRPs of WWE suffered whenever Cena has been absent from television programming. After Cena, there should be someone who can further move the legacy created by him. There are some amazing talents in form of Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt to name a few.
