John Cenas farewell tour wasnt about going out with a perfect record it was about taking the biggest risks possible, even if they bombed.
On the latest episode of Cody Rhodes What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Cena got brutally honest about the mindset behind his final year in WWE. And instead of protecting his legacy, he admitted he was intentionally pushing boundaries and trying to fail just to prove a point.
According to Cena, his mission wasnt just to entertain fans it was to inspire the next generation of WWE superstars to break out of the play it safe mindset.
Cena pointed to his WrestleMania match with Rhodes as a major example a bout that was heavily criticized online but meant to be a bold creative swing.
For Cena, failing on the biggest stage isnt a sign of weakness its leadership by example.
With so many veterans obsessed with preserving their aura, Cenas approach is a rare departure and a direct message to younger talent: Stop fearing failure. Start swinging for the fences.
What do you think of Cenas mindset? Should more legends leave the business this way or is protecting your legacy more important in the long run?
