John Cena says he misses touring with WWE but at 45, being a full-time touring performer would "hit that point of diminishing returns."

The 16-time World Champion spoke to GQ Magazine recently and was asked if he misses touring with WWE.

"I miss it every day. Every single day. 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's last match was on a WWE house show from Madison Square Garden on September 10, 2021. He teamed with the Mysterios and defeated Roman Reigns and the Usos.

Inb4 Sabs comes calls him a liar :hayden3

I totally get what he means. You can miss something, but know you can’t really be doing it also at the same time

smh, if you really missed it you would come back full time instead of making up all of these excuses. Just another fucking Hollywood sellout who'll only come back when he has a movie to promote.

shut up lmao. I literally only said he should’ve made wrestlemania. I don’t think he should be working a full time schedule either. Gotta preserve the body

Yeah we’re at the point where seeing Cena sporadically is probably for the best.

It was rumored he was going to be at MITB last year, but wasn’t confirmed. And when he came out at the end, everyone lost their shit.

There’s an old expression in wrestling…”How can I miss you if you never go away?”

Loved the interview that he did here. Glad he is healthy and shape. Right now each time he comes back to WWE, he is like a special attraction. Which makes people want to see the wrestler more and more in each short stint.
