John Cena had promised, upon his retirement, that he would never again wear his denim shorts, knee pads, and armbands, but his latest appearances have sparked reactions.
Indeed, Cena swapped the suit for shorts again, and many noted that Cena had lied.
However, one must note that Cena was in shorts, but cargo shorts! Still far from the wrestling outfit that he retired with. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, John Cena precisely clarified the situation by confirming that he stands by his words:
”They weren’t jean shorts in Brooklyn, and they weren’t jean shorts in NXT. I wear cargo shorts. I wear no wristbands, I have no towel and I have no knee pads. So, when I said jean shorts were retired, those damn shorts are retired.
As for this change in retirement attire, Cena simply wants to reassure fans that he has indeed finished with the wrestling aspect:
”I don’t want to mislead the public. If I show up in shoes and a suit with a watch, I hope the audience won’t think: “One last match. John didn’t really hang it up.” It didn’t work. They still chanted “one last match,” and I love wearing suits. Moreover, Cody Rhodes gets beaten up in a suit. So, the only thing I was trying to accomplish was really unclear.”
A key nuance about John Cena’s outfit that he has been highlighting in recent shows puts the John Cena Classic at the forefront.
