John Cena 'Would Love' Opportunity To Win 17th World Title: I Got Some Work To Do

John Cena talks if he will look to hold a world championship in WWE one last time.

At Money In The Bank 2024 on Saturday evening, hometown hero Trish Stratus would introduce John Cena to the audience for a promo from the sixteen time world champion. In the promo, Cena would announce that he would be retiring from WWE in 2025, later clarifying that he would walk away in December of that year.

While speaking on the post show press conference after Money In The Bank, Cena was asked what he thought about possibly winning a seventeenth world championship in WWE and breaking a record he currently holds alongside Ric Flair.

“Great question. I would love that opportunity, but those opportunities are earned, and given my past track record, I got some work to do. So what I said tonight about fantastic opportunities, man, the Rumble, that’s a great ticket, right? Elimination Chamber now has some stakes to it, so that’s another great opportunity, and like I said, WrestleMania is not my last [match], Money in the Bank is another great opportunity, so I know from a straight competitive standpoint, I gotta work my way up from the bottom because I’m a realist. But there are some opportunities scattered in there that if I do harness a little bit more luck, who knows, man? Maybe we really make some history. Either way, I’m excited."

Elsewhere during the post show press conference, CM Punk discussed Cena's announcement and what he said to the leader of the Cenation backstage. You can read more about that here.
