Many wrestlers have been part of WWE, with some leaving a lasting impact. Tonight was a memorable occasion as the main event of Saturday Night featured John Cena’s final match, paying tribute to the often unheard voices behind the scenes.
The event took place in Washington, D.C., but not everyone who significantly influenced Cena’s journey could attend. During the show, commentator Michael Cole paused to acknowledge several key figures who helped shape Cena’s career. Although some legends known for hosting many GOAT games weren’t present, they were still given honorable mentions regardless of their current affiliations.
Sitting next to Wade Barrett, Cole gave a nod to Corey Graves and went on to mention Taz, who was on the phone the night Cena made his debut. He also brought up Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler. Jim Ross has been with AEW for a number of years, while Taz is also currently part of Tony Khan’s promotion. Jerry Lawler, whose contract ended last year, is no longer with AEW.
