John Cena’s wrestling career came to a close tonight, and The Undertaker honored the leader of the Cenation with a heartfelt tribute. The WWE Hall of Famer shared a brief but meaningful message on Twitter, beginning with the very words he spoke to Cena on his WWE debut 23 years ago: “Great job.”
Those words held the same weight today as they did back then. The Undertaker didn’t need to say much more to convey his respect, but he went on to praise Cena’s final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C.
“These are the words I said to you 23 years ago when you made your debut. Now, on the day of your last match, I say them again… well done,” he wrote.
He highlighted Cena’s career both inside and outside the ring, acknowledging his relentless work ethic and deep connection with fans.
“Hard work, loyalty, and respect are more than just catchphrases. For 23 years, you have embodied those principles. Your dedication to the business and commitment to the fans is unmatched.”
Reflecting on their shared experiences in the ring, The Undertaker expressed his gratitude.
“It was an honor to share the ring with you and be part of your journey. Even as your in-ring career ends, we hope you take pride in the legacy and memories you’ve created.”
Closing his tribute, The Phenom encouraged Cena to savor his final night as a WWE Superstar: “Enjoy your last ride tonight, my friend, and one last time… Nice job.”
Tonight, Cena faces Gunther in his official WWE retirement match at a sold-out Capital One Arena packed with fans eager to witness the farewell of one of WWE’s biggest icons.
Undertaker’s simple yet powerful message perfectly captures the significance of Cena’s 23-year journey—two legends bridging the past and future of WWE.
Fan Take: This tribute is a poignant moment for WWE fans, marking the end of an era defined by Cena’s dedication and impact. It reminds us how deeply these wrestling legends shape the sport’s history and inspire the next generation of superstars.
