John Cena’s final match takes place on Saturday, December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, DC, which is available to watch for free on WWE’s YouTube channel
All we know as British WWE star speaks out on John Cena’s retirement:
- John Cena won’t be missed when he retires from the wrestling ring, his long-time rival Wade “Gunther” Barrett said.
- Cena’s farewell tour comes to and on Saturday night when he goes one-on-one with Gunther, bringing down the curtain on a 26-year-old wresting career.
- But Barrett – who locked horns with Cena during a memorable feud in 2010 – says that despite being one of the biggest names in company history, the record-breaking 17-time world champion won’t be a huge loss to the locker room.
- Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Preston-born Barrett said: “To be fair he’s not been around much for the past six or seven years, so I don’t think it’s going to be a seismic change.
- “Despite all his commitments in Hollywood and his commercial commitments, he’s done a great job for being around WWE for around the best part of the last 12 months.
- “But in terms of him suddenly being taken out of the locker room, I think we got to that point in 2019 or 2020 and we really did rumble along really well. I think the management is different now. I think the company is just run better than it ever has been before.”
