CM Punk talked about John Cena's WWE retirement

During an edition of the Up and Adams Show, CM Punk said that he believed John Cena was hanging up his wrestling boots with "grace and dignity."

The Second City Saint added that people often don't get to say goodbye to their "sports heroes," but Cena's retirement tour was an exception, as this was the only time everyone could bid farewell to The GOAT.

"[John] Cena is, I think, our Wayne Gretzky. I've been saying he’s somebody who's just kind of held it down for a very, very long time. And for him to wrap it up, I think, is like watching him exit with such style and grace and dignity has been has been a real treat. We don't get to often say goodbye in real time to our sports heroes, so this is the one time we can," Punk said.

Cena will retire after one last match at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13. It will be interesting to see what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for The Chain Gang Soldier's final bout.
