John Cena Says The Sun Is Setting On His Time In WWE

In an interview with People, John Cena spoke about his time in WWE and how he believes it is coming close to an end. Cena has made allusions to the end of his WWE career in the past, noting in April that he wanted one last run. Here are highlights:

On how long he wants to stay physically active: “At 47 now, my goal is to be physically active until I can’t. I put a number in my head of like, I’d like to be physically active into my late 80s or 90s. To do a parallel squat in my late 80s.”

On his time in WWE ending soon: “I know my WWE journey is coming to an end, but fitness was a part of my life long before the WWE journey started. Fitness will be a part of my life, hopefully as long as my heart’s beating. So the WWE has been a great chapter in my life — it’s year 23 for me — and the sun’s setting on that chapter in the book, but fitness will never not be a part of my life.”

On how he feels at 47: “I feel as if I am operating at my best when I talk about health. Graduating from Springfield College, their ethos was ‘Spirit, mind and body.’ It’s not just how you look, it’s how you think, and also what’s on the inside. So I would say from a spirit of mine and a body standpoint at 47, I’m the best I’ve been in all 47 of my years on this earth.“
