Shortly after teaming with the red hot LA Knight to beat Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa at Fastlane, none other than John Cena candidly admitted that his future lies in Hollywood. That's no big secret, right? This WWE return was always going to be short-lived, but there's more to it than that.

Cena said an end to the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike would send him back to acting almost overnight. In other words, he's only sticking around pro wrestling until the strike is lifted and everyone goes back to work in Hollywood. Hey, at least the guy was open and honest about things.

He could've started spinning some yarn about being 'WWE forever', or some b*llocks.

This basically means John's latest run is coming to an end. The company might get one or two more big matches out of him (Crown Jewel and Survivor Series ideally) before he goes back to the movies, but that's probs about it.
