“Imagine having to follow the Attitude Era and carry the company in a G rated era. It’s the hardest thing ever asked of a champion in my opinion. I don’t know anyone that could have done that in the history of this business but @JohnCena one of best and most respectful guys I’ve ever met, so happy for him and so proud I got to see his historic run. Gonna enjoy every second of his finale. If he ain’t the GOAT, it’s a short list he’s on!” JBL tweeted.
With regards to his retirement announcement, at the Post-show MITB Press Conference, Cena mentioned that after his final match in 2025, he will retire for good but will be a part of WWE in some way or the other forever.
