THANK YOU JOHN CENA

 

Tonight John Cena, the face of the WWE since 2005 has his last match against Gunther on Saturday Night's Main Event. For many wrestling fans this is an end of an era in professional wrestling. 

Like Bruno Sammartino and Hulk Hogan before him, WWE marketed Cena to kids and families as a superhero. Cena has had major feuds with Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Rob Van Dam, The Big Show, Brock Lesnar,  Triple H, Batista, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, A.J. Styles, Dominik Mysterio and The Rock. Cena has taken his success in wrestling and parlayed that into a successful Hollywood career

For two decades, John Cena has been the top star in pro wrestling. No other champion in WWE history has had that type of longevity in pro wrestling. He has held 17 World Championships. Now he moves aside so that men like Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns can shape the future of WWE. 

Thank you John Cena for what you've done for the wrestling industry. Whether fans loved you or hated you you always gave us everything you had. The last time may be now, but your legend will last forever.
