CM Punk recently shared his honest reaction to the finish of John Cena’s final WWE match.
Cena’s retirement tour came to an end last month when he faced Gunther in his final bout. The match concluded with Cena briefly smiling before tapping out, officially closing the chapter on his in-ring career, a finish that sparked strong reactions across the wrestling community. Punk addressed the moment and offered his perspective on how Cena’s final match played out.
During a recent appearance on My Mom’s Basement, CM Punk talked about the ending to Stranger Things and compared the reactions that the show’s finale and John Cena’s final match received.
“I thought it was great. I was super happy about it, but people have their opinions,” Punk said of the “Stranger Things. Just like the John Cena and Gunther finish. I feel like it’s the same thing. Some people, maybe I don’t think you understand what you’re watching.
If you didn’t like it, I can also understand that. To make it your entire personality and spend an unhealthy amount of time talking about it…I’ll put it this way, if John won, they’d be mad about that too, but we wouldn’t be talking about it anymore. We’re still talking about that finish. The smile, the tap. ‘Oh my God, the guy who said don’t give up, gave up.’ Did he? I thought it was beautiful.”
