“I’m going to make Wrestling start over. That Championship is coming home with me.
As seen during the WWE WrestleMania 41 Sunday PLE, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to become a 17-time world champion. While speaking to Pat McAfee on Monday, Cena commented on what his plans are moving forward…
“I’m just going to shut it down. That’s all. Here’s the thing. There’s going to be a show. Everybody’s replaceable. There’s always another show. I’m going to make wrestling start over. That championship is coming home with me, and I will be the last undisputed WWE champion, period. They’re going to have to make a new title. They’re going to have to start the over again. Whoever is that first champion, whether it’s Cody Rhodes, whether it’s Dirty Dom, whether it’s Logan Paul, whether it’s Bron Breaker, it doesn’t matter. They’ll be the first one. Bruno, Hogan, Austin, Rock, HBK, Taker, Game, Every name you can imagine, CM Punk, that comes home with me because that’s what I’ve earned, and that’s what I want to do. I want to write history, and I’m going to put my stamp on the business by taking that piece of the business home with me. We all talk about this new era, and we talk about how the business is changing. Well, I’m taking the last piece of tradition in the business home with me, and you guys can figure out how to settle the dust when I’m gone.”
“I’m not saying that there’s never going to be another show. Of course, there is. You guys will be here next year without me. You’ll be here the year after without me. I don’t care. I’m cool. I’m cool in closing this chapter of my life. It’s one piece I’m taking home with me, and that’s so you guys can figure out how you want to do it from here on out because you’re not the same folks I came in with, period.”
I will be the last Undisputed WWE Champion. Period. So they’re gonna have to make a new title.”
