John Cena is in the final stretch of his farewell run with WWE, but that isn’t stopping him from giving back — and learning in the process.

After an emotional visit to the WWE Performance Center earlier last week, the 17-time world champion made a surprise return to Orlando on October 29, 2025, and shared a powerful message about being coachable and open to growth. In a social media post, Cena mentioned that he wasn’t just there to teach — he was also there to learn.

“Being coachable can open our minds to learn. Thank you to all the superstars at the WWE PC for sharing with me different perspectives of our business. I spent the week digesting their feedback & was grateful to be able to return today for another chance to learn & share wisdom.”

This follow-up visit comes just days after Cena originally met with Performance Center talent including Nikkita Lyons, Blake Monroe, and Izzi Dame. While he may have met with more up-and-coming stars, he posed for photos with those three and expressed deep appreciation for the experience.

Last week, Cena also reflected on the importance of these interactions:

“Any time I get to spend with the present and future of the business I love challenges the way I see it and I always leave with new perspectives.”

With just four WWE appearances left before his final match on December 13, Cena continues to prove why he’s earned the title of Greatest of All Time — not just with in-ring accolades, but by elevating others on his way out.

Will John Cena continue mentoring WWE talent after he hangs up the boots? Or will Hollywood pull him away for good? Let us know what you think in the comments.
