John Cena, a 16-time World champion, has shifted his focus from being the lead wrestler to contributing to the company’s success and helping new talent rise through the ranks. According to Ric Flair, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Cena’s decision to help new stars is a testament to his thinking changing over the years. Flair praised Cena’s commitment to the WWE, stating that he has maintained his annual tradition of making appearances on the main roster, a practice he started in 2002.
Cena’s achievements during his prime speak volumes, with blockbuster movies like “Fast & The Furious” and television series such as “Peacemaker” adding credence to his Hollywood credentials. However, his WWE career remains an integral part of his legacy. As deliberations about a potential match against current US Champion Austin Theory at WrestleMania 39 intensify, fans are eager to see how Cena will continue to impact the professional wrestling world.
Theory, often compared to Cena throughout his WWE career, has expressed admiration for his favorite wrestler from his younger days. While no official match has been scheduled, all signs point to a showdown at WrestleMania 39. Cena’s announced appearance on the March 6, 2023, episode of WWE RAW could potentially lead to the match being made official.
Cena’s commitment to the WWE and its stars remains unwavering, with his legacy as the last American hero cemented. His influence on the next generation of wrestlers is palpable, and fans can only speculate about the future of Cena and Theory. One thing is certain, however – John Cena’s legacy will continue to shape the world of professional wrestling for years to come.
