John Cena said that he realized there were only 11 days left for him to appear in WWE. 11 separate appearances would be the last thing that he did for the company before he retired. He confessed that he was terrified of being forgotten as well, when he was done and gone after December.

He went on to say that he grew more afraid with each passing day, fearing many things. Cena was also scared of letting down the WWE audience no matter how much he tried. Now, the star is going to be trying to deliver in each of his last matches until he finally hangs up his boots.

"Every single time a day goes by, I get more and more afraid, and I thank you for that... I want to lean into this for a second... so, I want to lead with honesty and vulnerability. I'm afraid that no matter how much I give to you in this limited time, that I'll never be enough, and I'm just going to end up letting you all down. And I'll also admit that I'm very afraid of after I'm gone, and the WWE moves on as it should, you guys are going to forget about me."
