A prominent WWE superstar was removed from the official WWE roster page following his final match on December 13th. The main event of WWE Saturday Night featured John Cena facing Gunther in what turned out to be Cena’s retirement match. Gunther won by forcing Cena to submit with a sleeper hold, which Cena reciprocated by acknowledging Gunther while embracing his famous “never give up” slogan. Following this historic bout, John Cena was moved from the current roster to the “Alumni” section on WWE’s website—a change marking the end of an era since Cena remained listed there even during his long breaks from wrestling.
After the show, CM Punk shared his thoughts on working with Cena during his recent heel run, praising Cena’s dedication and describing their time together as enjoyable. Punk mentioned Cena’s ability to transform his performances and acknowledged his changed relationship with fans. He fondly recalled their experiences, especially doing reverse rolls, a move they both enjoyed.
Fan Take: This moment is a pivotal shift in WWE history, symbolizing the farewell of one of its greatest icons. For fans, it signals the end of an era but also opens the door for new stars to rise and reshape the future of professional wrestling.
