The curtain fell on the career of American star John Cena with his loss in his final wrestling match against Austrian Gunther in an emotional Saturday Night Live event held in Washington, early Sunday morning.
John Cena's constant motto has been "Never give up," but what happened today marked the end of that journey, as the match ended with him losing by submission , a loss that doesn't happen often for the 48-year-old.
John Cena's final match had been long awaited. He's a guaranteed name in the WWE Hall of Fame, and his film career has taken up most of his attention in recent years.
Despite retiring from wrestling, Cena won't be entirely absent from WWE, as he will continue his role as a company ambassador, and his official merchandise will remain available in stores. This historic night can be summed up in a few simple words: "Thank you, John Cena."
Before the fight began, Cena had some touching farewell moments at the ring, exchanging hugs with prominent names such as Trish Stratus, Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, Kevin Owens, Booker T, Sami Zayn, and others.
Following the match, Cena placed his ties and shoes on the ring, officially announcing his retirement, before leaving the ring almost in tears and entering his room amidst a huge ovation from the fans.
John Cena said during his final match with WWE : "It has been a pleasure serving you all these years... Thank you."
