Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, John Cena said that after he retires, no one will “give a f*ck” about him as fans will quickly move on.
“That is real facts. I will be forgotten. That is not a plea to sympathy of like always remember me,” Cena said.
“By the Royal Rumble, the road to WrestleMania, nobody gives a f*ck because they’re focusing on what the show is. That’s like three weeks after I retire. Three weeks after I retire, nobody’s going to give a f*ck,” he continued.
In an other interview with Bill Simmons, Cena discussed why he opted to retire now, explaining that he would have liked to keep going, but his body is not allowing him to do that at his age.
“I’m a step slower. I promised myself and the fanbase when I started before I won that first championship, when I am a step slower, I’m out,” Cena told Simmons, refuting the idea that he’s going out on “his own terms.”
“That’s bullshit. I want to do it forever,” Cena said.
