Talking about Cena being an ambassador is not a professional wrestling career, because that section is reserved for an active career, actively performing. It is not a footnote for any other roles pursued in the WWE. Being an ambassador is by definition, a corporate outreach, which can be loosely translated to a business career with clear definitions.

I can get the logic for putting this outside the wrestling career section, but are you planning on expanding this section at all? It seems very weird to have an entire section that's put at the top of the page ahead of his wrestling career, and that consists entirely of a single sentence. I'd move this line somewhere into the "Other Ventures" section over the current state, which looks very out of place. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 14:48, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I aim to future-proof it in case Cena does anything significant as Ambassador or goes further in corporate world WorldClassChampion (talk) 15:01, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Though i'll probably comment it out WorldClassChampion (talk) 15:03, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Other articles for retired professional wrestlers, such as Dave Bautista, never specify retired in the article description. John Cena's description says "retired", and I suggest that the "retired" in the article description be removed. Jtasp111 (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
