Speaking on WrestleBinge, Jerry Lawler said that he believes Cena is never going to retire. He elucidated his statement by saying that a person only retires when he dies. Therefore, there are a lot of things The Cenation Leader might do even after stepping away from in-ring action.

I don’t think anybody should ever retire. There’s too many things that you can do without using the word ‘retire.’ I use that when I hear about somebody retiring, I look for them to die pretty soon. I would never say that he’s going to retire.
