10 Things That Must Happen During John Cena’s WWE Retirement Tour
10. Avoid Super Cena
Right out of the gate, the most important thing that needs to happen during John Cena’s retirement tour is actually what needs to be avoided at all costs: the appearance of Super Cena.
Longtime WWE fans know this term all too well, and it sends shivers down everyone’s spines. For years, Cena would overcome every form of adversity put in front of him, rarely ending up on the losing end of a feud. If he did get beaten down or lost, he’d find a way to shrug it off and find a new opportunity at a world title in a matter of weeks, which persisted even as fans turned on the supposed babyface. It all gave birth to the phrase, “Cena wins, LOL.”
Under no circumstances can that version of Cena return to WWE. He’s currently almost universally beloved by fans (time truly heals all wounds), but if were to run out and AA the entire Judgment Day and Bloodline in rapid succession, fans would turn on him in record time.
To be fair, the odds that this will happen are slim: Cena hasn’t won a televised singles match in more than six years and has mostly wrestled in tag matches since then. It would be quite the change for him to dominate like he did 10-15 years ago.
