John Cena Reacts To Criticism Of How His Retirement Tour Was Booked

John Cena assesses his retirement tour in WWE.

Across 36 dates, former WWE Champion John Cena traveled across the world for his official retirement tour, which is set to conclude at WWE Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event on December 13. En route to Cenaâ€s final appearance, WWE fans have expressed mixed opinions about his retirement tour, with his run as a heel particularly facing heavy scrutiny.

Sitting down on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Cena addressed the criticism surrounding his retirement tour booking.

“Itâ€s part of what we do. That is absolutely part of what we do,†he said. “I love it because itâ€s vocal and it starts a conversation. Thatâ€s the thing. Iâ€ve been part of this live criticism pit since WrestleMania Triple H, or fighting Kurt Angle. Thatâ€s what people donâ€t understand, I am criticized all the time.â€

Unlike most other pro wrestlers, Cena has vowed to make his in-ring retirement a permanent thing. With that finality in mind, Cena understands that some fans might be upset at this point in time, while others plan to enjoy what will be his last time wrestling. As he points out, though, there at least seems to be a universal thread of interest.

“I think I would say everyone internally is happy. I would say everyone externally has an opinion about it, which is good. Here we are in early December, looking forward to the 13th. I donâ€t think there is apathy out there. I know some people are critical of it. Some people may be upset, some people may be overjoyed, but there isnâ€t apathy, and I think that means we did okay.â€
