5 Things WWE must do in John Cena's final match at SNME

John Cena will draw the curtains on his legendary WWE career tomorrow night at Saturday Night's Main Event. The air is filled with melancholy as the wrestling world is emotionally reluctant to bid adieu to The Cenation Leader. The Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. is getting decked out to host this historic night that will mark the end of an era.

With it being Cena's final show, WWE must make it truly memorable. From having legends in the house to having a proper closing ceremony, the company must elevate it to WrestleMania-level grandeur. The Franchise Player's swan song at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII deserves nothing less than a spectacle that etches itself into WWE lore.

Here are five things WWE must do in John Cena's final match at SNME:

#5. Give him a special entrance

John Cena's entrances have always been electrifying and no one can deny that. However, the wrestling legend will make one last walk down the ramp this Saturday and WWE should make it an absolute spectacle. The company should surround both sides of the entrance pathway with a horde of superstars from both rosters, building a guard of honor for Cena.

The Franchise Player should come out from backstage on his theme song, making his way through the passage with every superstar doing his trademark salute gesture. WWE should capture drone shots over the arena with 18,000+ fans syncing to the lyrics of John Cena's theme song. That would be absolutely magical and it would elevate the gravitas of this historic night.

#4. Book a classic wrestling match

One of the other things WWE should do at Saturday Night's Main Event is give adequate match time to John Cena and Gunther. The two superstars are capable of delivering an incredible bout and the company should allow that. Triple H must book a classic wrestling match where the 17-time World Champion showcases every move from his arsenal one final time.

Even though Cena is the underdog heading into his last match at SNME, he must deliver a tough fight to The Ring General. WWE should run this match well over 15 minutes and have emotional sequences in this. The company must not rush its ending, as doing so could leave a bitter taste among fans and could very well foil what is set to be an iconic sendoff.

#3. Have superstars and legends in the front row

Throughout his WWE tenure, John Cena has feuded with many superstars that shaped his career. The company should feature as many names as possible in attendance at Saturday Night's Main Event. Superstars and legends like The Undertaker, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Kane, Seth Rollins, and Rey Mysterio should have front row seats during Cena's final match.

Having such names in attendance who have had a storied history with Cena will be the ultimate honor to the 17-time World Champion. The company could also try to have Edge and Chris Jericho for one night at SNME. This will increase the magnitude of the moment and tell the world about the impact The Cenation Leader has left in the world of pro wrestling.

#2. Let John Cena put Gunther over in the match

John Cena is not just hanging up his boots tomorrow night, he is leaving a legacy behind. Therefore, his final match should be a passing-the-torch moment. WWE should book an emotional ending to this match where Gunther locks Cena in a submission hold. However, The Cenation Leader should fight till the very end and pass out, giving the Austrian a big win.

Following the match, John Cena should shake hands with The Ring General and endorse him, both showing mutual respect. The Stamford-based promotion should do this to let The Franchise Player pass the baton to Gunther before riding off into the sunset. This will give the 38-year-old a major boost in his wrestling career and will also mark the end of an era.

#1. Give John Cena adequate time for a retirement speech

The last thing that WWE should give John Cena is a ceremonial segment after his match. As the clock ticks down to tomorrow night's Saturday Night's Main Event, the wrestling universe is draped in a bittersweet haze. They want to hear from The Never Seen 17 one last time in jorts and the company should give him adequate time to cut a proper retirement speech after the match.

There shouldn't be any commercials following the match on Saturday Night's Main and WWE should keep it clean. Cena should have all the time he needs to address the WWE Universe and thank everyone who has been a major part of his journey. The Cenation Leader should be showered with applause as he drops the mic and walks down the ramp one last time.
