John Cena opens up about his WWE goal

The former WWE Champion recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He spoke candidly about his final match and said his goal in WWE has always been to leave the promotion better than he found it.

"That clip you saw was by mistake. The Undertaker was sick," he said. "No kidding. I've just always kind of been reliable and showing up and doing whatever I'm asked. And I really want this tour to be not only special - it'll always be special for me because you guys are out there. I want it to be special for the business. My goal has always been to leave WWE better than I found it." [H/T - Today]

Cena lost the Undisputed WWE Title to Cody Rhodes on Night Two of SummerSlam 2025. He was then attacked by a returning Brock Lesnar as The Biggest Party of The Summer came to a close.

Cena and Lesnar have been bitter rivals over the years, and one final showdown between the duo is on the horizon before Cena's eventual exit from pro wrestling.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
