John Cena’s WWE retirement tour is officially underway—and one legend who’s seen it all just gave the 16-time world champion his flowers.
Sting, currently wrapping up his own career with AEW, was asked during an interview on Going Ringside to weigh in on Cena’s decision to hang up his boots. Without hesitation, the wrestling icon showed full support for Cena’s next chapter.
“Kudos to John. He’s—he’s one of the greatest of all time. I love to see it. I’m rooting for him. I’m hoping it turns out to be phenomenal. I’m sure that it will.”
Sting didn’t stop there. He made it clear that he always backs veterans who continue to defy expectations. As an example, he compared Cena’s retirement moment to seeing older athletes like Aaron Rodgers still pushing forward.
“Yeah, man. And I’m always rooting for those older guys, you know. Go Aaron Rodgers, you know. Go.”
Both Cena and Sting are two of the most influential figures in wrestling history, and hearing one endorse the other at this career crossroads is a moment fans won’t forget. Sting knows what it’s like to close a chapter—and clearly, he believes Cena is doing it the right way.
