Fox News explained that “if [Cena] were to win the Royal Rumble, he would automatically get a world championship match at WRESTLEMANIA 41, giving him a shot at WWE history.”
During a post-show press conference, Cena spoke about his farewell tour, saying, “I love the WWE, as you all know. I know I’m going to retire, but they will have to fire me to get me to stop being a part of this place.”
Cena also talked about the possibility of incorporating his PEACEMAKER character into the tour.
“Peacemaker is a DC thing,” he said of the character. “[But] you never know, never say never, right?”
Cena continued, “The great thing about the farewell tour, tonight, we debuted a new outfit. It was very regionally focused…I’m really looking forward to trying to go back to the way I started. Thug Life, the Dr. of Thuganomics John Cena would wear home or away jerseys. There is elements of everything already in front of you.”
“Hopefully, by the end of all this, if you want to see a certain facet of the 23 years I’ve been in the business, hopefully you can get that little sprinkle,” he concluded. “I’m definitely focused on that and hopefully we can deliver.”
Cena announced his retirement from the WWE in 2024.
