John Cena says he signed a long-term deal with WWE

His in-ring career will be over by the time 2025 comes to an end, but John Cena’s involvement with WWE will continue for years to come after that.

The 16-time world champion, appearing on the Club Shay Shay podcast, announced that he signed a contract extension with WWE which will keep him with the company for the foreseeable future.

“I have such a trustworthy relationship with them over two decades. I am a champion of the brand,” Cena said, adding that he loves the company and WWE is his home and everyone in it is part of his family.

“Even after 2025, I’ve already signed an extension to remain a member of the WWE family for the near, mid, and long-term future. I don’t think there will be a beat of my heart where WWE doesn’t come out of.”

John Cena will start his 2025 farewell tour with the first episode of WWE Raw on Netflix. He will work 36 dates throughout the year, including most of the premium live events, culminating with one final match in December 2025.
