Cena announced that 2025 would be his last year as a competitor in the ring. Earlier this month, he entered the Men's Royal Rumble match but came up short, being eliminated by eventual winner Jey Uso. The 16-time World Champion now has a huge match in Toronto inside the Elimination Chamber.

This week on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine with Mac Davis, Bill Apter pointed out that Cena had claimed that he would like to be associated with WWE even after his retirement. The legendary journalist felt Cena could show up backstage a few times after his retirement and even represent the company at media events as an ambassador.

"According to John Cena, this was on some interview show, he may not wrestle but he still wants to be around the business. He'd be a good guy to be backstage at times a couple of times a year and, you know, just to be there as a goodwill ambassador." [From 12:05 onwards]
