John Cena’s last WWE match became a major talking point after his final appearance inside the ring. Fans expected an emotional send-off, but the ending of his farewell match left many shocked and unhappy.
How did fans react to John Cena’s loss in the last WWE match?
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, John Cena stepped into the ring one last time to face Gunther in the main event. After spending a year touring cities around the world, Cena’s final match took place in Washington, DC.
Cena showed great heart and resisted for as long as he could, but Gunther eventually forced him to tap out with a rear-naked choke. This moment shocked fans, as Cena had not lost by submission since 2004.
Many fans did not accept this ending. After the match, WWE stars filled the ring to honor the 17-time world champion. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon led the tribute, but fans inside the arena loudly booed Triple H, clearly unhappy with the booking of Cena’s final match.
While CM Punk and Cody Rhodes placed their world titles on Cena to show respect. However, when Triple H returned to the ring to present a tribute video celebrating Cena’s 23-year WWE career, fans once again drowned him in boos. Fans also shared their frustration on X, formerly known as Twitter.
One fan wrote Cena’s final match felt flat and lacked the drama expected from such a legendary farewell.
Others posted memes and short reactions, with one fan simply saying that Cena losing his final match felt unbelievable.
Another pointed out that there was a whole year of buildup only for John Cena to lose his last match.
Despite the criticism, the match officially closed the book on John Cena’s legendary WWE career. Afterward, Cena shared a quiet reaction on Instagram by posting a photo of his wrestling gear left in the ring.
