John Cena has reached the halfway point of his WWE farewell tour, and so far, he’s been a man on a mission to shake up the wrestling world. While fan reactions have been mixed, ‘The Cenation Leader’ has assured that there’s still plenty more to come. From this point forward — starting with the Undisputed WWE Champion — Cena says the fans will dictate how his farewell journey unfolds.

Speaking with Collider, Cena emphasized that now is the perfect time for the WWE Universe to use their voices. ‘The Cenation Leader’ revealed that WWE is actively listening to fan reactions and that future plans may be shaped accordingly. He added that it’s a great time to be a fan, as only the audience truly holds the power to determine where his journey goes from here.

As we get close to the end of this thing, what dictates those pivots is the audience, and I think the audience will begin to feel differently, because now we are truly coming to the end. So, if you ever had a voice to use, if you ever wanted to say something, I hate to steal my own cliché, but the time is now.

Additionally, the Undisputed WWE Champion was candid during the interview, hinting at the possibility of a babyface turn in the near future. Fans have long debated whether John Cena will retire as a heel or return to his heroic roots before his final match in December. Judging by his words, it seems he’s subtly suggesting that he’s slowly but surely making his way back toward the light.

Additionally, the 48-year-old is set to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk this Saturday at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. Cena has vowed to defeat ‘The Best in the World’ and solidify his legacy. Just last week, he delivered a controversial pipe-bomb promo on SmackDown, sparking massive buzz among fans across the globe.

John Cena recently revealed whether he prefers wrestling over acting

John Cena is not only a legendary wrestler but also a successful Hollywood actor, having built a strong fanbase over nearly a decade in the film industry. Recently, however, he was asked a heartfelt question by a young fan — whether he prefers wrestling or acting, given his success in both. Cena’s response was surprising and revealed where his true passion lies.

Speaking at Fan EXPO Dallas 2025, John Cena revealed that he prefers wrestling over acting. ‘The Cenation Leader’ explained that nothing compares to the adrenaline rush of stepping into an arena filled with thousands of passionate fans from around the world. Despite his success in Hollywood, ‘The Franchise Player’ made it clear that wrestling will always be his first love.

Acting, they hurt your feelings a lot too though. I don’t know if you’ve seen some of my stuff, or read the reviews, they will hurt your feelings. To be honest — I love wrestling so much more, there’s no denying the magic in an arena for a live WWE broadcast. And I’m fine saying that, if that knocks me out of the movie business I’ll be accountable for saying that.

Moreover, the Undisputed WWE Champion admitted that while wrestling is physically more demanding, it brings a unique sense of fulfillment that acting can never match for him. However, the 48-year-old made it clear that this doesn’t change his decision to retire from professional wrestling this December, as it’s a choice that comes from within.

John Cena to lose his Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions?

John Cena has held the Undisputed WWE Championship for over three months now. While his record-breaking 17th title reign is undeniably historic, it has fallen short of the high expectations fans had for it. As a result, there’s growing speculation that he may drop the title to CM Punk at Night of Champions.

Fans have been voicing their disappointment with Cena’s title reign since the very first week. Many believe his run as a heel has been underwhelming, lacking the impact they had hoped for. Dropping the World Title could serve as the perfect turning point, potentially sparking a fresh direction for Cena’s character in WWE ahead of his retirement.

Additionally, CM Punk is in need of a major win to maintain his momentum heading into what’s being billed as the biggest SummerSlam in history. Crowning him champion at Night of Champions would be an effective way for WWE to keep him red-hot going into the event. On the other hand, a loss for Cena would also spark significant buzz, marking one of the most talked-about moments since WrestleMania.
