He’s been adamant that no amount of money could get him to take another match after retiring following Saturday Night’s Main Event last December 13. But in his interview with The Takedown on SI.com, John Cena also revealed that he won’t “do anything physical” for WWE now that he’s an ambassador and not a wrestler.
When The Takedown’s Zack Heydorn asked Cena how retirement’s been, the Never Seen 17 replied:
“It’s great. Honestly, it’s great. Physically, I feel great. Gosh, I love watching the product.
You saw me, I was having a bunch of fun at WrestleMania. Really looking forward to the future and my future role in WWE…
“This was the confusing thing about retirement. First of all, I will stay retired — no fall downs. I will not do anything physical. But that doesn’t mean I’m away from WWE. I mean, anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about not only the sports entertainment business but WWE as a brand. So it was simply a matter of like, ‘So where do I fit in now?’ And we’re still trying to find out those pieces, but I think we got a clear path.”
“No fall downs” is a very John Cena phrase, but it definitely gets the point across.
