In a poignant moment that marked the end of an era, WWE superstar John Cena bid farewell to the wrestling world after a grueling 24-year career. Cena's final match, a submission loss to Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., was a testament to his enduring legacy. As expected, Cena gave it his all, delivering his signature moves and electrifying the crowd with his usual ring flair. However, Gunther's cunning sleeper hold proved to be too much for the 17-time world champion, forcing him to tap out. The emotional loss was met with a standing ovation from the packed arena and a sea of tributes on social media. WWE's locker room came out in full force to pay their respects to the retiring legend, with Cena humbly accepting the applause as he bid farewell. The wrestling titan's departure was marked by a poignant gesture, as he left his shoes, wristbands, and trademark armband in the ring as a symbol of his career's end. A who's who of WWE greats, including Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, and AJ Styles, gathered around the ring to pay their respects. CM Punk and Cody Rhodes presented Cena with their world titles as a mark of respect, solidifying his place in the pantheon of wrestling legends. Cena's farewell match was the culmination of a year-long farewell tour, which saw him wrestle in several high-profile matches, including the main event of Wrestlemania, where he won the world title for a record 17th time. The Last Time Is Now tournament, featuring 16 wrestlers, was held to determine his final opponent, and Gunther emerged victorious in the finale. As Cena hangs up his boots at 48, his legacy will be remembered alongside that of Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Undertaker. His remarkable career, marked by 17 world title wins, will forever be etched in the annals of WWE history.
