The Undertaker shared a heartfelt message in anticipation of his final match, reminiscing about a backstage moment with John Cena following Cena’s WWE debut in 2002. Cena, a 17-time world champion, is set to retire after his last match against Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C., concluding a remarkable 23-year career.
Social media is currently flooded with tributes honoring Cena, widely regarded as one of WWE’s greatest stars, from fellow wrestlers, fans, and industry icons. Among those paying respects is WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, who reflected on a meaningful exchange with Cena after his debut against Kurt Angle in June 2002. The Undertaker tweeted, “Great job. Those are the words I said to you 23 years ago when you debuted. On the day of my last game, I’ll say it again…well done.” He praised Cena’s dedication, passion, and respect for the wrestling business, emphasizing the honor of sharing the ring with him and encouraging Cena to cherish the memories he has created.
Other legends, including Kurt Angle and Adam Copeland (formerly Edge), also paid tribute to Cena as he closes this iconic chapter of his wrestling journey.
Fan Take: This moment is monumental for WWE fans as it marks the end of an era defined by John Cena’s influence and dedication. Cena’s retirement not only honors his legacy but also paves the way for new talent to rise, shaping the future of professional wrestling.
