Appearing at the Money in the Bank post-show press conference, Cena was asked if fans might see a different side of him during his final year.

"I think by now, after 22 years, I know you’ll see me, but you won’t see me. You will get my authentic self, and moments of frustration and moments of disappointment. Heck, I can’t remember the last time I won a match. I’m on a little bit of a slump. I guess I don’t think in terms. What I do know is I really try to work hard every day to be as good a human being as I can, so I don’t know how much impact that would have. Because that goes heavily against what I value. I think you would see through it. Our fans, they have a great bullshit radar, and what a happy, joyous, and caring moment I was able to be a part of tonight. I don’t know what details we’re gonna get into as far as matches and opponents. I do know that it’s a joyous time for me and a fun time for me, and my goal is to bring generations together to make memories that will last a lifetime. If my involvement with a stacked roster, if we can all build moments that pour the foundation for the next two decades, man, that’s pretty special," he said.
