The Undertaker, WWE Hall of Famer, recently praised John Cena’s current retirement tour, calling it a worthy homage to Cena’s remarkable career and a possible model for other wrestling retirements.

A Deserved Farewell

Although not every wrestler deserves such a lengthy farewell, The Undertaker stressed that Cena’s steadfast devotion to WWE warrants this joyous tour. He noted, “I don’t think everybody deserves that.

Cena definitely does because of the workhorse that he was for so long.” With his consistent attendance at house shows, pay-per-views, and fan events throughout his career, Cena’s unwavering dedication is reflected in this sentiment.

Setting a New Standard

When asked about the significance of Cena’s farewell tour, The Undertaker hinted that it might set a new standard for WWE superstars who retire. He said, “I think this might be the prototype for certain wrestlers to do their swan song and leave.”

This strategy makes it possible for fans to look forward to and take part in a legend’s farewell performances, making them and the crowd unforgettable.  

The Undertaker’s Perspective on Personal Retirement

In contrast to Cena’s public farewell, The Undertaker considered his own retirement and admitted that his legendary image didn’t fit with a protracted absence. As he put it, “I don’t think it fits The Undertaker character.” This realization emphasizes how crucial it is to match a wrestler’s retirement strategy with their persona and history within the ring. 

Looking Ahead

As John Cena’s retirement tour goes on, it not only pays tribute to his accomplishments but also establishes a standard for how WWE will commemorate its departed icons. The Undertaker’s endorsement of this method highlights its potential to become a standard practice, ensuring that future retirees receive the recognition befitting their service to the industry.
