The conclusion of Saturday night’s main event at Capital One Arena sparked a hostile reaction from the audience after John Cena tapped out to Gunther in what was Cena’s final WWE match. Newly released footage reveals just how intense the crowd’s displeasure was once the broadcast ended. Fans were captured on video booing and shouting as Gunther made his way to the bus, yelling profanities directed at him. The crowd’s anger showed no signs of fading, prompting security to closely escort Gunther to prevent fans from approaching him.
Despite Cena’s memorable performance—fighting through a sleeper hold, delivering an attitude adjustment, and giving his all—his clean tap out in his last match didn’t sit well with many fans in attendance. Cena, who has been WWE’s leading figure for over two decades, faced chants of “Bulls” along with persistent boos echoing throughout the arena. While security provided protection, the crowd’s reaction was overwhelmingly negative, overshadowing much of what happened inside the ring.
The final moments of Cena’s wrestling career ended in an unexpected way, with the fan response outside the ring perhaps overshadowing the action inside it. Was it right for WWE to script such a decisive loss for Cena in his farewell match, or did the fans have valid reasons to be upset? Share your opinions in the comments below.
