Once again, John Cena has discussed the matter of selecting his rivals during his retirement tour. During the WWE SumnerSlam post-show. Triple H drew some reactions when he said that Cena was selecting his opponents as a means to show compose the last part of his story. SumerSlam witnessed the return of Brock Lesnar, who made a very notable entrance by rejoining the company after two-year hiatus and being a party to the lawsuit claiming Vince McMahon of assault and trafficking.
Cena seeks WWE Universe’s opinion on potential match
Brock Lesnar has been John Cena’s nemesis for a long time and he has one of the very few positive win/loss records against Cena. Meltzer’s assertion was countered by him during one of his wrestling Observer Radio broadcasts. But in September, John Cena went to X (twitter) to inquire with the WWE Universe about their opinions on a flight between him and AJ Styles.

His tweet stirred up conversations again regarding him handpicking his opponents, making it necessary for him to issue a tweet denying the notion. Still, he had the chance to fight AJ Styles at Crown Jewel, a showdown that turned out to be one of the greats of his career. John Cena being inquired about the self-selection of his opponents has always been very clear that he is merely obeying the orders from the WWE executives.
John Cena clarifies his exit plans and vision for his final matches
During his recent appearance on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight, he continued to emphasise the point.
“Only thing I wanted to do, the only idea I gave was about Saturday Night’s Main Event on the 13th, saying it should not be a John Cena show.
If everybody’s saying you’re going out on your own terms, which is BS, because I want to do it forever. Okay, you have an idea of this is how I want John to go out. You do. I have an idea of how I want to go out. And how I want to go out is not by folks remembering what I did.”
Cena explains why his last shows won’t be entirely about him
“I want a chance to perform and do some good. You want to sprinkle in moments and memories to understand and make that last match more meaningful, fine, but let’s use the rest of our two hours and show the future of the business. That’s how I want to go out, because when I came in, there was a gold medalist who’s like, I’ll work with the kid.
To be on a sold-out show in Chicago and hear that noise, I was already hooked, but that’s it. I want to give NXT kids a chance to be there, and I want to give major WWE superstars a chance to be on the card.
It’s a limited thing. It’s not WrestleMania, it’s only limited spots, but that’s how I want to go out. And there’ll be people to criticize that. My theory, or my perspective was, if you do a whole show on John, two things can happen. Too much, not enough. No one’s ever gonna be like, ‘nailed it.’”
