John Cena has been absent from WWE television in recent weeks, and a new report provides an explanation. Cena appeared at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere on January 6th. There, he kicked off his farewell tour and declared for the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

WWE Superstar John Cena recently revealed that he wants to star in a movie with one of his biggest rivals, CM Punk. With this being his final year in the wrestling ring, Cena is fully committed to one last run with WWE.

Cena cut a well-received promo on Raw's 6 January Netflix debut. At the start of his retirement year in wrestling, Cena ran through his career - from his early spell as OVW's prototype to the present day - then referenced breaking the record he currently shares with Ric Flair (in WWE canon) and winning a 17th World Championship.
