Sexyy Red can’t believe John Cena is actually retiring.
The rapper, who is known for her single “Pound Town” and its remixed sequel with Nicki Minaj, is also a noted pro wrestling fan. Sexyy Red has made several appearances in WWE in the past.
She helped reveal the NXT North American Women’s Championship belt and hosted NXT Battleground in 2024. Red also sang the “Sexy Boy” theme song with Shawn Michaels.
John Cena’s retirement match is set to take place on Saturday night in Washington D.C., and the event has still been met with skepticism the entire time. Despite Cena insisting that he will never wrestle again after Saturday night, many fans wonder if he will return down the line.
Sexyy Red is also in disbelief about the retirement, as she asked if it was really happening.
“John Cena retiring fr???” she wrote on Twitter/X.
It’s for real, Red!
Sexyy Red says she was offered a role as a wrestler in WWE
Sexyy Red spoke with Dazed and said she was offered a “permanent role” as a wrestler. However, she claimed that her schedule didn’t give her enough time to do the role justice. Instead, she opted to make the cameo appearances.
“Rapping and wrestling are pretty much the same,” she explained (via Billboard). “It’s not quite acting, but it’s kind of acting too, right? Because when we go home and take off all our jewels and gold and remove the costumes we wear, we then have to go right back to reality with our families.”
