Chael Sonnen shares hilarious take as WWE legend John Cena makes final appearance

John Cena's illustrious pro wrestling career came to a close at Saturday Night's Main Event. As the WWE legend calls it a career, UFC icon Chael Sonnen has come out with a hilarious take.

Sonnen seemingly revived his 'undisputed and undefeated' gag to launch a lighthearted dig at the 'Peacemaker' actor. In a social media post, the retired MMA fighter wrote:

"A bit odd that Cena can advertise such an illustrious career while having to admit he never once beat SONNEN."

Cena's last WWE appearance was at the event aptly named 'The Last Time Is Now', for which 16 wrestlers battled it out for a chance to face the pro wrestling icon in his swansong.

In his final fight at Washington, D.C., Cena lost to Gunther via submission. The former WWE champion gave it his all and even pulled off an Attitude Adjustment (AA) off the ropes in an attempt to secure a win in his final match.

Ultimately, 'The Ring General' locked in a sleeper hold that forced Cena to tap out.

As Cena walks away from the industry, his career is second to none. In the 8,570 days since his WWE debut, he claimed 17 world titles and has become a notable name in Hollywood, starring in blockbusters like the 'Fast & Furious' series, 'Heads of State', and many more.

In a heartfelt moment during the retirement, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes draped their world heavyweight and undisputed WWE championships on Cena, while the crowd erupted in 'Thank you, Cena' chants.

When Chael Sonnen explained his beef with John Cena

Chael Sonnen has had a lighthearted feud with John Cena for years. From steroid accusations to direct jabs on social media, the UFC icon never seems to miss a chance when it comes to shading the WWE superstar.

During a 2022 interview with Ariel Helwani, Sonnen finally came clean about his issue with the pro wrestling extraordinaire, explaining that it stems from envy rather than hatred:

"He Twitter very seriously, and I was massive at one point... I had like half a million, and he had 20 million, but he'd send out 50,000 tweets, and I'd send out like 12... He very clearly has an assistant go in and took this approach of sunshine of everybody's a** it's painful, and it's boring, and it worked. It shouldn't work... I can put out a nice piece to the public, and he beats me 16 to one; that's upsetting to me. Truly, if you really want to know where it comes from, it comes from a corrupt desire to have what he has, also known as jealousy. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. There's no backstory."
