John Cena competed in his final match last weekend when he tapped out to Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and people traveled from all over the world to watch Cena step into the ring one last time.
The former WWE Champion recently reflected on the experience while speaking with Cody Rhodes on What Do You Want To Talk About? and he explained what happened when he returned backstage after the match.
“I got to have one last drink in the locker room in my gear. I’m there in my socks, the knee pads, the jorts, and I made a toast. The toast was to the metrics of the evening, largest arena gate in WWE history, largest for the building itself in DC.
The only reason I wanted to share those metrics is because Haku was in the room, and Je’von Evans was in the room, and everyone in between. We have legends, future stars, we have talent that are front and centre on our programming, the locker room was full, I can’t believe that many people stayed.
I have 12 ounces of conversation left in me, and I use a moment to say ‘this is what we did tonight, the reason we did that is because of the effort of people like Haku. Also, the goal is, for you younger guys to shove that s*** straight up my a**. You now have the metric!”
