John Cena Clarifies His Retired Jorts
John Cena has ditched his signature jorts, wristbands, knee pads and towel for cargo shorts along with his usual t-shirt and hat in recent WWE appearances. In a Sports Illustrated interview, Cena stressed that the jorts are officially retired and explained the change is meant to avoid confusing fans into thinking he might wrestle again. He noted that even showing up in a suit at WrestleMania 42 led to "one more match" chants, making his post-retirement wardrobe a clearer signal that he is done with in-ring competition.
