John Cena has just finished his final year as an in-ring WWE performer and officially retired from wrestling in late 2025, so his focus is shifting rather than stopping.
Role with WWE
John Cena has signed a multi-year agreement to stay involved with WWE as an official ambassador, meaning he will represent the company at events and help promote its brand rather than wrestle regularly. This kind of role usually involves media appearances, special on-screen segments, and mentoring younger talent behind the scenes.
Acting and Entertainment
Cena is continuing to build his Hollywood career with several film projects lined up after his in-ring retirement. Announced roles include parts in upcoming movies like a live-action/animated feature involving the Coyote vs. Acme concept and an action film based on Matchbox-style racing, showing that acting will be a major focus.
Life outside the ring
He has said he wants more time with his wife Shay Shariatzadeh and close family, making his personal life a bigger priority than it was during his full-time wrestling years. Even with this, he still plans to stay busy with creative work and public appearances rather than disappearing from the spotlight.
