John Cena's contract has quietly expired

[Toe Jay Simpson]

The last wrestling superstar. Yes it was completely given to him, but Hogan was no different so it does count.

 

[Mr. Brown]

Gonna show up and challenge Cody to a 20 minute time limit draw

 

[Peter Parker]

Don't know what you got until its gone brehs

 

[Kingshango]

Im gonna miss Big Match John.

 

[DANJ!]

They love you then they hate you then they love you again.

 

[The Black Sheep]

I have never seen a former top top guy phased out like Cena was..weird.

What about The Rock in 2004?

 

[Dolo]

The last playfighter to put butts in seats

 

[NoMorePie]

Go to AEW and be the third man, CeGOAT

 

[Cartier Murphy]

I really hope this doesn't mean he's gonna fukk around and be in the next John Wick or something. Not the type of fukkery I want out of those movies.

He’ll probably just be a random goon or henchman if he is, like Marjanovic was in the last one. I don’t think they’ll have him in there with the armbands and jorts on and all that shyt

 

[jackswstd]

He’s definitely a legend but they sacrificed a lot of potential stars to keep him in his position. That’s why there are no must see stars in WWE.

Yep and it's a shame that the stars they did propel to the top didnt pan out for various reasons

Jeff hardy was hot in 2009 dipped and got arrested

Cm punk in 2011 was buried by triple h and stuck in the mid card as wwe champion

Daniel bryan in 2013-2014 but suffered b2b neck injuries and had to give it up

Roman reigns in 2015-2016 but was immediately rejected then got his own dumbass suspended

Nah, breh.

He's the primary antagonist in the next Fast and Furious. He ain't getting Boban'd. He'll be all up in that shyt with the Serious John Cena Face.

 

[El Guapo]

They love you then they hate you then they love you again.

This was definitely my attitude towards Cena

Hope he gets a proper final match though.

What about The Rock in 2004?

Nah. Rock had already been a part time guy for 3 years by 2004.

No, this was the exact same way The Rock got phased out in 2004. They went from regular Top 2 guys, to part-timers (and make no mistake about it, Cena's been a part-timer basically since late 2015), to lapsed contracts, probably for the same reason (they're very talented guys who made careers for themselves independent of the WWE machine).

I can't say I'm that shocked since I know how WWE deals with people they can't control, but Cena was such a WWE drone at times that it did throw me to read the headline. If Undertaker got a "lifetime" contract, you'd think that Cena would get one as well.
