I’ve been fortunate to have an incredible career here in WWE, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities and the love from the fans. This isn’t goodbye; it’s just a new beginning. Thank you for all the support, and remember, you never give up on your dreams. The WWE Universe will always be my family.” Cena told fans.
