John Cena Misses Being A Full-Time WWE Talent Every Day
John Cena misses touring with WWE
Mar 31, 2022
WWE's top star for much of the 21st century, John Cena has worked a part-time schedule in the company since late 2016 and the 16-time world champion has made fewer and fewer appearances on WWE TV in recent years.
Prior to 2016, though, Cena had been a full-time wrestler since 2001 and The Doctor Of Thuganomics admitted he misses being a full-time talent every day.
"I miss it every day. Every single day," Cena told GQ. "But I'll be 45 on April 23rd, and I was very fortunate to make it as long as I did with only a minor list of injuries. Nothing that has changed the trajectory of my long term health. I'm strong, flexible, and in really good shape externally, internally. I think now, being a full-time touring performer might start to hit that point of diminishing returns, and I have to be realistic when I look at that."
Cena last appeared inside a WWE ring at SummerSlam 2021 when he lost to Roman Reigns in a Universal Championship match.
When Cena will next be on WWE TV is currently unknown.
