#2 John Cena shares an update on his future after WWE SummerSlam

Words cannot describe how appreciative I am that the @WWEUniverse allowed me the opportunity to return and perform. Thank you staff, superstars, and most of all FANS for giving me an unforgettable summer at “home” with my “family”. The journey takes me away now but I’ll C U soon.

John Cena unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WWE SummerSlam. The two superstars engaged in a short yet entertaining rivalry that ended with The Tribal Chief retaining his gold. Cena was pleased with his reception and called the company his “home” in a recent interview.

"Unfortunately WWE don't give a silver medal. I think I will try to do the best I can until I feel I'm offending the consumer. There's nothing like the energy of being in that ring with the audience around. I've had the fortunate opportunity to do a whole lot of stuff. That energy is indescribable. That place is my home. I wouldn't be who I am without it. The audience is my family -- I want to be kind to them -- I still feel good even though I finished second so I still feel I have something to contribute," said John Cena.
