With Hollywood projects on pause, Cena sought and received a green light from the Guild, stating, “we got written, legal okay that it would be okay to come back to WWE,” thus ensuring his wrestling appearances were compliant with SAG’s regulations.

Cena's re-emergence in the wrestling world is not merely a nostalgia act; he has plans to enhance the sport and its stars. He spoke of broad aspirations, from potentially winning a 17th championship to mentoring rising talents like Austin Theory.

Approaching his return with a fresh perspective, Cena acknowledges his age and the limitations it brings, emphasizing his desire to contribute meaningfully to WWE before retiring on a high note, “appreciative & healthy”.

Regarding his eventual retirement, Cena's ethos is WWE-first, trusting the organization to craft the final chapter of his storied career. “I’ll do what they tell me to do because I believe in full faith that they are doing what’s best for business,” he affirmed.
