Newly crowned Undisputed WWE Champion and history maker John Cena appeared on Monday’s Pat McAfee Show.
Cena defeated Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 Sunday to win the Undisputed WWE Champion for a 17th time, thus passing the 16-time record held by WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.
Cena is currently on his retirement tour, which ends this December. During his appearance on Monday’s Pat McAfee Show, Cena said no amount of money would bring him back and that after the end of this year, he is gone.
“When I won my first title, I made a promise, ‘When I’m a step slower, I’m gone.’ If you watch my stuff from 2015 and watch my stuff today; I’m a step slower. So you know what, I’m gone. I made that promise to these people behind me. Whether they like it or not, I know wrestling retirements aren’t real because there is always a payout involved. I’ve been in the business almost 25 years and the business has been good to me. I’ve been smart with my money and I will have a life without want and I know how appreciated I am. I never once take that for granted. There is no amount of money and not a check, this is a shot across the bow to any casino owner, any territory owner, any promotion owner, you can’t write me a check to bring me back. In December, I am done because of the promise I made to them. Whether I like them or I don’t, at least I go out keeping my word. December, I’m gone.”
Cena will appear on tonight’s WrestleMania 41 fallout episode of WWE Raw, live form the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
