CJ Perry doesn't want John Cena to retire

As John Cena's retirement draws close, many fans are sad to see the Cenation leader hang up his boots. However, his retirement will make even industry veterans and current WWE stars upset.

Speaking on TMZ's Inside The Ring, CJ Perry said that she doesn't believe Cena is retiring next month. She also admitted that she doesn't want the 17-time World Champion to retire.

"I mean, please. The biggest worker of them all is John Cena. Like, I will never believe that John Cena or The Undertaker are retiring or Triple H. I just think it's a gimmick. Like they're all retiring because it's the gimmick, you know? We're all going to buy the merchandise and the towel. And of course, I'm going to buy the towel and the cup and everything because, God forbid, this is his last time, and I don't want to be that person to be like, 'Oh yeah, he's coming back.' And then it never happens. But I hope he's not done. I would be really sad," Lana said.

It will be interesting to see who Cena would pick to be in the Iron Survivor Challenge.
