5 Roles John Cena could fill in WWE when he retires

John Cena is a huge mainstream star and one of the biggest names to have ever come out of WWE. He carried the company during the majority of the PG Era, something only a handful of wrestlers could've managed to do.

The Leader of the Cenation is a record-tying 16-time World Champion and has headlined multiple WrestleManias, making him a shoo-in for the WWE Hall of Fame. The number of times John Cena has competed in the ring has decreased in recent years due to his acting commitments.

This could lead to his retirement from wrestling. If he does indeed hang up his boots, he'll still be a beneficial asset to the company by working in an on-screen or backstage role. John Cena is unquestionably loyal to Vince McMahon and WWE.

Despite his growing success in Hollywood, he still shows up when The Chairman needs him most. Here are five roles John Cena could fill in WWE when he retires.

#5 John Cena could join the WWE creative team

John Cena's experience in the movie industry would come in handy if he had to join the WWE Creative Writing Team. It won't be the first time that a former World Champion will be working with the people who craft the storylines and promos that we see on TV.

Current WWE SmackDown superstar Daniel Bryan is also working with the creative team. John Cena is very familiar with storytelling, and he has an idea of what the fans want to see in WWE. This would improve the product significantly by making it more entertaining.

Although Vince McMahon has the final say on everything that is presented on his shows, he won't turn down most of John Cena's pitches due to their close relationship and trust.

#4 John Cena could become a WWE trainer/coach

Lifting weights and doing push-ups is in John Cena's DNA. Before he became a WWE Superstar, he was a professional bodybuilder. Cena knows a thing or two about gaining muscle and abs, plus his wrestling training in OVW under Jim Cornette provides him with the skills to train future WWE stars.

John Cena's incredible workout routine is very effective. Whenever he was taken out due to injury, he managed to return to the ring much sooner than expected. By training other wrestlers in the Performance Center, he'll be paying his dues and helping others get fit.

WWE Producers have a number of responsibilities to fulfill in WWE. They work closely with wrestlers to ensure that matches and segments are executed safely and according to plan.

John Cena would fit the role as a producer quite nicely. Other WWE stars who took up this role include Shane Helms, Tyson Kidd, Jason Jordan and WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle. John Cena has had a lot of classic bouts over the years, and he could help other wrestlers to follow in his footsteps.

#2 John Cena could become a special commentator

John Cena would be a fine addition to WWE's commentary team due to his incredible mic skills. He would be a perfect replacement for Michael Cole on SmackDown or he could take Samoa Joe's place on RAW after the latter makes his return to in-ring action.

He could even become a commentator for big events such as pay-per-views and special shows. Whichever program he provides commentary for will see a significant increase in ratings each week.

#1 John Cena manages another WWE Superstar

John Cena would be an excellent manager in WWE. He is one of the best promos in the history of the business. He could make his promo skills useful by speaking on behalf of a WWE Superstar who lacks mic skills but is phenomenal in the ring.

Imagine if John Cena managed Aleister Black or former WWE star Andrade. Their careers would've reached new heights and they could've gotten the rub they desperately need to have a successful career in WWE.
