John Cena’s final WWE match at Saturday Night’s Main Event was not only a thrilling but also an emotional goodbye. The wrestling legends Triple H, The Undertaker, CM Punk, Shawn Michaels, and the officials Stephanie McMahon and Bruce Prichard were there together with him in the ring forming a historic moment. Cody Rhodes and CM Punk laid their championship belts on Cena’s hands thus evoking an amazing noise from the audience. Cena was celebrating with the crowd by lifting the titles high, enjoying the loudest noise from the venue, before he eventually returned the belts and had a touching moment with Triple H.
John Cena closes the chapter on an iconic wrestling career
John Cena bowed and acknowledged the fans. The wrestler took off his boots and armbands and left them in the ring’s center, which signified the end of his wrestling career. He then gradually ascended the ramp and exited the ring while gazing at the audience that had supported him for over twenty years from the top. Cena did then take one last bow in front of the camera and then one last salute. With that, he went backstage and the show went out, thus ending one of the greatest careers in professional wrestling.
One final goodbye.

Heartfelt moments shine as tribute video celebrates Cena’s legacy
Triple H’s every single action met with loud disapprovals from the audience who would not allow the moment to slip by unnoticed. The arena displays were then illuminated with a tribute video that was special and even Cena himself had not been shown it before.
The display included throwbacks, warm remarks, and touching notes, with a cameo from Cena’s mom among the highlights. The spectators were quiet while Cena was in the ring, and he was affected deeply.
