WWE ‘Confirms’ John Cena Firing on Website, But Not on House Show Cards

WWE’s official website has committed itself to treating John Cena’s worked, storyline “firing” as legitimate.

June 15, 2010 - New York, New York, U.S. - JOHN CENA at the Gillette Fusion ProGlide ''Ultimate Summer Job'' event at Good Units at the Hudson Hotel in New York City on 06-15-2010.  2010...K65182HMc. © Red Carpet Pictures

Even though few can possibly believe that, by virtue of Randy Orton’s victory at Survivor Series, John Cena is truly done with WWE, WWE.com today moved Cena’s profile to the “alumni” section of the website. The move mirrors what WWE.com would have done had Cena actually decided to embark on a hiatus from the company.

Interestingly, not all facets of WWE’s promotional machine are selling the Cena storyline. During Monday’s RAW, local house show ads from numerous domestic markets confirmed appearances from the wrestler.

  1. hey john yeah i stop watching wwe cause your the best but myfriends say old but i think ur a role model you lived a dream i always wanted to be a wrestler i wanted to see you when you where going winnipeg in 2011 but forget it yeah i’m happy that your going to be with familey but you could’ve had two families wwe univers we all love you john 🙁 BYE JOHN

  2. Hey cena,i am very sad that you’re left wwe perhaps i decided to stop watching wwe.You are the real hero and I’ll never forget you.Wade berett is a loser & pathetic man in the hole universe.Bye CENA
    NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Shawn Michaels and John Cena were the main reasons why I watched WWE. I know that this show is nothing short of a male soap opera, but, nonetheless, it was interesting to watch. Me being a woman in all. Shawn Michaels left and that killed me. But, at the time I still had John Cena to fall on. Now that he has left, I probably will not watch WWE anymore. I imagine that a lot of fans will stop watching it. I can say that if I hear that he is back on, then I will watch it again but only if he comes back. I don’t know. The story lines there at WWE are crazy. Who ever heard of a wrestler with no stock in WWE ‘firing’ another wrestler. Why was that stipulation even allowed?

  4. OMG…Storyline or Whatever. WWE made a wrong move with this one. Why let go the Coolest, Most Humble…not to mention the one who more than helps your ratings…All I can say is The Best is Yet To Come for you John…

    Love,
    A True Fan in NC.

  5. Totally agree with the comment above storyline or not, surely by now vince and his croneys (creative team/writers) have royally screwed up on this one, this storyline should have been faded out as this as caused alot of major upset with fans around the world after what transpired after sundays events firing cena has been totally blown out of order, bring cena back to regular television now if vince wants his company to stay afloat as theres to many big name out or retired now the nexus/cena storyline was fun at first but as become stale and as left a bad taste in many a mouth get it sorted vince like NOW

  6. WE WANT JOHN CENA BACK AT ANY COST!
    HE IS THE BEST, THE SUPREME AND THE RULER!

    WWE IS NOTHING WITHOUT JOHN CENA, WWE IS JUST A THEATER NW!

    CENA MUST BE BACK , ELSE WE WILL BOYCOTT WWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    VERY SOON, WWE TV RATINGS WILL FALL!!!!!!!
    LONG LIVE JOHN CENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WWE WOULD ALLOW THE NEXUS WHO DON’T KNOW HOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DEVOTED THRIR TIME TO WRESTLING DESTROY THE PASSION OF THE GAME.THE NEXUS DON’T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP WWE IN BUSINESS.I AND MILLIONS OUT HERE AND WITHDRAWING FROM WATCHING WWE WITHOUT JOHN CENA AND THE UNDERTAKER.THESE ARE THE TWO GREATEST ASSETS OF THE WWE.

  15. oh my god, do you people really think that wwe has really fired cena. they havnt. it is as storyline so he can have time off, see his family and rest his body. the guy has been working for bout 9 yrs straight barring any injuries. so stop crying and moaning that your not gonna watch wwe couse thier just looking after their top star. he’ll prob be back soon.

  17. The only man in wwe who has courage, dignity, culture, mental strength is the only one superstar. John Cena. In the last match we can see how brave he is. WWE raw is a drama now. It’s soul John Cena left wwe. I fired wwe. I wish all John Cena fans to stand up for John cena and request Cena not to stop wrestling. U can’t c me

  18. BOOM! WWE has crushed itself up by firing the only true superstar they have. i don’t know who is gonna watch the show without john cena in it. But i promise u all that the cenation will keep fighting till we have cena back where he should be.

  19. Hey! what this Bullshit going on is it real or the part of script. don’t disappoint your fans or give heart ache to your fans. man u are the most attractve and charming wwe super star. really man without u its not worthwhile watching wwe. we fans from indians (arunachal pradesh) love n will miss ur prescence at wwe. pliz come back. we pray for u and your family. cena do c.omeback soon
