John Cena competed in his final match last weekend at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and it was a match that will surely be talked about for years to come. When it all came to an end Gunther made John Cena tap out, and fans couldn’t help but notice that the former WWE Champion smiled as he tapped.
Many people have been interpreting the smile in their own way, but John Cena recently explained what it meant to him while speaking to Cody Rhodes about the finish on What Do You Want To Talk About?
“I envision something beautiful. Saturday far exceeded whatever was in my heart and soul. I know I’m out there one last time. I’m out there, and they hate the guy I’m working with. They universally cheer me. That is f*****g rare. For the last five minutes, everything I preach about story, drama, and having a conversation with the audience…the ones I love are in the front row, I know my colleagues are watching on the monitor in the back. We’re just in a sleeper hold, but we’re having that conversation with the audience.”
“As I essentially take my last breath and have struggled. You think of somebody, the natural causes scenario or however we picture loss in our life, all of us have been through it. They struggle and struggle, but they hang on just long enough to make sure to say goodbye to everyone that is meaningful in their lives. That whole day was so many meaningful and vulnerable conversations. Then, you realize, I’ve connected with everybody I love. Physically, I feel great. I think it’s time to take that last breath. I hate to keep going back to obituaries, but that was, ‘This person died peacefully.’”
