Peter Rosenberg advocated for John Cena to surpass Ric Flair’s world championship record during his retirement run in 2025, suggesting WWE may have already hinted at such plans.
“I would just like him to maybe win [a top match]… Don’t you have to have him beat Flair’s record? Just think about this for a second. Think about the corporate entity that this company has become,” Rosenberg said on his Cheap Heat podcast. “They’ve been already calling him the greatest of all time, make him the greatest of all time. Can you at least make it true? You have the choice. Give him 17 championships.”
Cena announced his retirement plans at Money in the Bank 2023, setting the end of 2025 as his departure date. WWE has scheduled several appearances for him throughout 2025, including RAW’s Netflix debut, Royal Rumble, and Elimination Chamber.
Rosenberg specifically suggested Cena should defeat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship to achieve this milestone. “I have him beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship,” he stated.
