AEW's Bryan Danielson Weighs In On WWE Star John Cena's Retirement

WWE superstar John Cena officially announced his retirement last month at Money in the Bank where he revealed that the 2025 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41 will be his final in-ring appearance at both shows and plans to completely retire from in-ring competition by the end of next year. John Cena's former rival Bryan Danielson has commented on the WWE legend's decision to retire in 2025. 


Speaking with "Talksport," Bryan Danielson reflected on his famous SummerSlam 2013 match with John Cena for the WWE Championship where "The American Dragon" successfully captured the title and quickly lost it when Randy Orton cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.  


"There are people that love him and there are people that they hate him, and the way that they reacted back and forth, to that point, that was my favourite match that I'd had in WWE," said Bryan Danielson. "It was about two minutes before I got pedigreed and then beaten for the title, but it was a cool moment in my career." 


The AEW superstar also stated that he hasn't spoken to John Cena since he announced his retirement, and explained the reason why.


"I haven't spoken with him but you also have to understand I hate phones. I have friends but then I'm really bad at texting and like I also have, if you were to go to my phone right now, I have 3800 plus unread text messages," he said.


Bryan Danielson also shared that he has difficulty recounting his match with John Cena at SummerSlam 2013 as he mentioned that maineventing one of WWE's largest shows of the year and winning the world title against the company's top superstar didn't feel real.


Thank you to "Talksport" for the transcription.
