WWE’s latest recruit has honored John Cena by recreating one of the wrestling legend’s famous images. Cena is set to have his final match on December 13th, where he will face Gunther in the main event of WWE Saturday Night. Throughout 2025, Cena is on a farewell tour as he prepares to step away from his in-ring career. Meanwhile, Nathan Angel, who signed with WWE in October and joined the Performance Center, shared a message about his future while acknowledging Cena’s upcoming retirement.
Angel debuted in WWE with a tweet saying, “When the goats leave, the rams arrive! 🐐🐏,” accompanied by a reimagined version of Cena’s 2013 photo holding a baby goat. This original photo symbolized Cena’s “GOAT phase” and was widely shared on social media. Cena has also revealed plans for a post-retirement appearance following his final WWE match. Nathan Angel was trained by Joel Redman, known to WWE NXT fans as former Oliver Gray.
Fan Take: This tribute highlights the symbolic passing of the torch in WWE, blending respect for legends with excitement for emerging talent. For fans, it signifies both the end of an era with Cena’s retirement and the promising start of fresh stars like Nathan Angel, heralding a dynamic future for the sport.
