Ric Flair: I Hope John Cena Can Walk Away And Stay Away

Ric Flair weighs in on John Cena’s retirement.

John Cena is set to retire in December with his last match taking place on December 13. Cena has said when he hangs up the jorts, they will be hung up for good.

Ric Flair hopes that is the case.

“John is making so damn much money in the movies right now. He doesn’t need to do anything else. I hope that he’ll walk away and stay away. Wrestling is very addictive. When you’ve done it as long as John has, over 20 years, it’s hard to change your way of life. I see John periodically, but I can’t say enough nice things about John Cena. He’s a wonderful person, and he is very happily married, his wife is lovely. They’re building a new home here in Tampa,” Flair told Escapist Magazine. 

Ric Flair originally retired after losing to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24, but returned to the ring in November 2009. He had his last match in 2022.
