John Cena Confirms His Jorts Are Retired, Was Wearing Cargo Shorts On TV

Many fans expected John Cena to be appearing on TV in a suit and tie from now on, so were shocked to see a brand new t-shirt, cap, and shorts during his arrivals to Monday Night RAW, NXT and Friday Night SmackDown when announcing new names for the upcoming John Cena Classic. This comes after Cena had claimed that his iconic jorts would remain firmly retired following his final match. 

Well, Cena has hit back at anyone who has an issue with his current attire - they are not jorts, dammit! Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Cena noted that he is wearing cargo shorts, and not his classic jorts. 

“Those weren't jorts in Brooklyn, and they weren't jorts on NXT. I'm wearing cargo shorts. I'm not wearing any wristbands, I don't have a towel and I don't have any knee pads. So, when I said the jorts are retired, the f----ing jorts are retired… I don't wanna confuse the consumer. If I show up in dress shoes in a suit with a pocket watch, hopefully the consumer isn't gonna think one more match. John's not really done. That didn't work. They still chanted one more match. And I love wearing suits. Also, Cody Rhodes gets beat up in suits. So, the one thing I was trying to accomplish was really murky."  

Cena’s return to WWE TV saw him reveal some more plans for the tournament, which take place across one night next month. He also revealed in an interview this week that he believes that his WrestleMania 41 main event “stunk up the joint”.
