After going back and forth for about twenty minutes, Gunther put John Cena in a sleeper hold. In one of the most shocking moments in WWE history, the Never Seen 17 tapped out for the first time in over a decade. In a recent X (fka Twitter) post, former World Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods shared his reaction to the surprise finish.

Staying true to his heel persona, The New Day member took a dig at The Cenation leader. Woods wrote that he was glad that The Ring General tapped Cena out.

Former WWE star pens down a heartfelt message to John Cena

Several wrestlers from the past were in attendance for John Cena's retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event. Former three-time WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres was one of them.

"@johncena is one of the few people in the world who truly wants others to win, and goes out of his way to help them. He gives and gives, and tonight, he left @wwe a better place to work than when he started. Grateful to have had an opportunity to work alongside him and witness what true love, dedication, and hard a** work looks like… while still having fun. This is the only photo I could find of us not making out. 😬 Loved visiting my old stomping grounds, just didn’t stomp anyone today," Torres wrote.

Although The Cenation Leader has drawn the curtain on his wrestling career, fans expect him to make sporadic appearances on WWE television. It will be interesting to see when he shows up for the first time following his retirement.
